anycrap-faker

faker.js plugin — absurdist AI product names, descriptions, and slugs from the Anycrap dataset. No API call, no key required.

import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';
import { createAnycrapFaker } from 'anycrap-faker';

const anycrap = createAnycrapFaker(faker);

anycrap.productName();        // "Thought-Cancelling Headphones"
anycrap.productDescription(); // "Headphones that don't just block sound — they block thoughts."
anycrap.productSlug();        // "thought-cancelling-headphones"
anycrap.productCategory();    // "gadgets"
anycrap.product();            // { name, slug, description, category }

Install

npm i anycrap-faker

Requires @faker-js/faker >= 9.0.0 as a peer dependency.

Usage

Works as a drop-in alongside faker.js for seeding databases, generating test fixtures, or any place you'd use faker.commerce.productName() but want something less boring.

// seed a database
const products = Array.from({ length: 100 }, () => ({
  id: faker.string.uuid(),
  name: anycrap.productName(),
  description: anycrap.productDescription(),
  category: anycrap.productCategory(),
  price: faker.commerce.price(),
}));

// factory / fixture
const mockProduct = () => ({
  ...anycrap.product(),
  id: faker.string.uuid(),
  created_at: faker.date.past().toISOString(),
});

No API calls

All data is bundled — 200+ hand-picked products from the Anycrap dataset. Zero network requests, works offline, deterministic with faker seeds.

For the full 35,000+ product catalog via API, see anycrap.shop/developers.
