This package provides a custom Faker provider for the Somali language (`so_SO`), which can be used to generate Somali-specific data like names, addresses, phone numbers, and more. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via Composer: ``` composer require abdirazack/somali-faker ``` The package will automatically register its service provider. Usage ----- [](#usage) You can use the new formatters by calling them on the `faker()` helper in Laravel or directly on a `Faker\Generator` instance. Here's a list of the available formatters with examples: ### Person [](#person) - **`firstName()`**: Generates a random Somali first name. ``` faker()->firstName(); // 'Ayaanle' ``` - **`lastName()`**: Generates a random Somali last name. ``` faker()->lastName(); // 'Hassan' ``` > **Note:** Both `firstName()` and `lastName()` use the same list of names, so you might get the same name for both. - **`name()`**: Generates a random Somali full name. ``` faker()->name(); // 'Ayaanle Hassan' ``` ### Address [](#address) - **`city()`**: Generates a random Somali city. ``` faker()->city(); // 'Mogadishu' ``` - **`district()`**: Generates a random Somali district. ``` faker()->district(); // 'Hodan District' ``` - **`streetName()`**: Generates a random Somali street name. ``` faker()->streetName(); // 'Wadada Xamar' ``` - **`address()`**: Generates a random Somali address. ``` faker()->address(); // '123 Wadada Xamar, Hodan District, Mogadishu' ``` ### Company [](#company) - **`company()`**: Generates a random Somali company name. ``` faker()->company(); // 'Hormuud Telecom' ``` - **`companyPrefix()`**: Generates a random Somali company prefix. ``` faker()->companyPrefix(); // 'Shirkadda' ``` - **`companySuffix()`**: Generates a random Somali company suffix. ``` faker()->companySuffix(); // 'Group' ``` ### PhoneNumber [](#phonenumber) - **`phoneNumber()`**: Generates a random Somali phone number. ``` faker()->phoneNumber(); // '+252 61 123 4567' ``` ### Internet [](#internet) - **`email()`**: Generates a Somali-themed email address. ``` faker()->email(); // 'ayaanle.hassan@example.com' ``` - **`domainName()`**: Generates a Somali domain name. ``` faker()->domainName(); // 'somalinet.so' ``` ### Text [](#text) - **`realText()`**: Generates a snippet of Somali text. ``` faker()->realText(); // 'Soomaalidu been waa sheegtaa, been kuma maahmaahdo...' ``` Usage Outside of Laravel ------------------------ [](#usage-outside-of-laravel) You can also use this provider in a non-Laravel project by adding the provider to your Faker instance manually: ``` use Faker\Factory; use SomaliFaker\Provider\so_SO\Person; use SomaliFaker\Provider\so_SO\Address; use SomaliFaker\Provider\so_SO\Company; use SomaliFaker\Provider\so_SO\PhoneNumber; use SomaliFaker\Provider\so_SO\Internet; use SomaliFaker\Provider\so_SO\Text; $faker = Factory::create(); $faker->addProvider(new Person($faker)); $faker->addProvider(new Address($faker)); $faker->addProvider(new Company($faker)); $faker->addProvider(new PhoneNumber($faker)); $faker->addProvider(new Internet($faker)); $faker->addProvider(new Text($faker)); echo $faker->name; // 'Ayaanle Hassan' ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
