Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.

Informations about the package faker
Faker
Faker is a PHP library that generates fake data for you. Whether you need to bootstrap your database, create good-looking XML documents, fill-in your persistence to stress test it, or anonymize data taken from a production service, Faker is for you.
It's heavily inspired by Perl's Data::Faker, and by Ruby's Faker.
Getting Started
Installation
Faker requires PHP >= 7.4.
Documentation
Full documentation can be found over on fakerphp.github.io.
Basic Usage
Use Faker\Factory::create() to create and initialize a Faker generator, which can generate data by accessing methods named after the type of data you want.
Each call to $faker->name() yields a different (random) result. This is because Faker uses __call() magic, and forwards Faker\Generator->$method() calls to Faker\Generator->format($method, $attributes).
Automated refactoring
If you already used this library with its properties, they are now deprecated and needs to be replaced by their equivalent methods.
You can use the provided Rector config file to automate the work.
Run
to install rector/rector.
Run
to run rector/rector.
Note: do not forget to replace src/ with the path to your source directory.
Alternatively, import the configuration in your rector.php file:

PHP Version Support Policy
The maintainers of this package add support for a PHP version following its initial release and drop support for a PHP version one year after it has reached its end of security support.
Backward compatibility promise
Faker is using Semver. This means that versions are tagged with MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Only a new major version will be allowed to break backward compatibility (BC).
Classes marked as @experimental or @internal are not included in our backward compatibility promise.
You are also not guaranteed that the value returned from a method is always the
same. You are guaranteed that the data type will not change.
PHP 8 introduced named arguments, which increased the cost and reduces flexibility for package maintainers. The names of the arguments for methods in Faker is not included in our BC promise.
