Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

koalaz

v1.2.0

Published

Why don't use koalas as data mock? With this npm package you can!

Readme

🐨 koalaz

The most useless but adorable placeholder generator in the npm ecosystem. Because your project deserves koala-themed mock data.

npm version npm downloads License: MIT Koala Approved

⚠️ DISCLAIMER: This is a meme project. It's intentionally ridiculous. But oddly useful for testing and prototyping. No koalas were harmed during development (they were all sleeping).

🎯 Why?

Because lorem ipsum is boring. Because faker is too serious. Because your tests deserve to be adorable and absurd. Because koalas.

📥 Installation

npm install koalaz

🚀 Usage

import Koala from 'koalaz';
// or
// const Koala = require('koalaz');

// Generate absurd JSON data about koalas
const koala = Koala.generateJSONData();
console.log(koala);
// {
//   id: 'KOALA-4287',
//   name: 'Sir Dormington',
//   age: 12,
//   sleepHours: 21,
//   eucalyptusConsumed: '743g',
//   mood: 'sleepy',
//   currentActivity: 'contemplating existence',
//   funFact: 'Brain occupies only 61% of skull, rest is empty',
//   lastMoved: '47 hours ago',
//   treeLoyalty: '94%'
// }

// Lorem ipsum made of koala sounds
console.log(Koala.getLoremIpsum(2, 3));
// WAAAAH grrrumph eucalyptus munch snort. zzzzz wheeze grunt...

// ASCII Art!
console.log(Koala.getArt('judging'));
//     ʕ ಠᴥಠʔ
//    /|     |\\
//   (_|     |_)
//   judging you

// Fake data tables
const table = Koala.getTable(3);
console.log(table);

// API response faker
const response = Koala.getAPI('/api/koalas/sleep');

// And much more!
console.log(Koala.getName());      // 'Supreme Eucalyptus'
console.log(Koala.getFact());      // 'Sleeps more than you've ever dreamed of'
console.log(Koala.getColor());     // '#8B7D6B'
console.log(Koala.getEmail());     // '[email protected]'
console.log(Koala.getActions(3));  // Array of 3 ridiculous actions

🎨 Complete API

Koala.generateJSONData(count = 1)

Generates JSON objects with completely absurd koala data.

Koala.getLoremIpsum(paragraphs = 3, sentencesPerParagraph = 5)

Lorem ipsum made entirely of koala sounds. Perfect for text placeholders.

Koala.getArt(variant = 'classic')

ASCII art of koalas. Variants: 'classic', 'sleeping', 'judging', 'party', 'error'

Koala.getActions(count = 5)

List of ridiculous actions that koalas might do (or more likely won't do).

Koala.getTable(rows = 5)

Generates fake tabular data in array format.

Koala.getNumber(min = 0, max = 100)

Random number with bias towards lower values (like koalas: slow and lazy).

Koala.getAPI(endpoint = '/koalas')

Mock complete API response with absurd metadata.

Other methods:

  • getName() - Random name
  • getFact() - Random fact
  • getColor() - Hexadecimal color inspired by koalas
  • getEmail() - Fake email
  • getPassword() - "Secure" password
  • getDelay(ms) - Async "realistic" delay (slow like a koala)

🎭 Use Cases

  • Testing & Mocking: Fun placeholder data for automated tests
  • Prototypes: Fill your UIs with adorable content
  • Demos: Impress clients with koalas instead of "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"
  • Presentations: Why not?
  • Procrastination: The main reason

🤝 Contributing

Pull requests welcome! Especially if you add more absurd koala facts or new ASCII art variants.

📜 License

MIT - Do whatever you want, but please credit the koalas.

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Koalas are protected animals. This package is not.
  • No koalas were awakened during development.
  • The author is not responsible for excessive use of koala emojis in your projects.
  • If this package made you smile, mission accomplished 🎉

🐨 True Fun Facts

Yes, some of the facts in the code are real:

  • Koalas really do sleep 18-22 hours a day
  • Their fingerprints are almost identical to humans
  • Their brain is strangely small for their skull
  • "Koala" really means "no drink" in an Aboriginal language
  • Baby koalas really eat... let's not go there
