FAQ
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.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package the-office-faker
The Office Faker
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
With this package, you can extend the extremely useful Faker (fzaninotto/faker) Library to seed your PHP application with fake data using characters and companies from the hit TV series, The Office (US).
This is vital for when we launch Dunder Mifflin Infinity ✌️-point-👌!
Installation
Install this package using Composer.
Usage
Start using characters and company names immediately using the Faker methods you are already familiar with by adding the provider to your Faker instance.
The example below is using a Laravel Factory as an example, but Faker (and this provider) can be used in any PHP project.
🔥 Laravel
If you are using this package in a Laravel application, you can also make this functionality available to all of
your factories and tests globally by adding the TheOfficeFaker\Laravel\TheOfficeServiceProvider::class to
the providers section of config/app.php as detailed in the Laravel Docs.
Characters
The default usage above creates truly randomized first and last names, so you will end up with names like "Roy Kapoor" or "Jim Schrute". If you would like the have the first and last names be consistent with the characters on the show (which is probably what most people would enjoy), you can use the character() method to return an object of a character's details.
Companies
There is a small, but growing, list of fictional (and some Scranton-area) company names taken from episodes of The Office. You can use these the same way you would use the normal company attribute.

TODO (I would love your help!)
There is a short list of things I would like to improve or add in the near future to make this provider even better. If you would like to help in this endeavor, please feel free to create a pull request. Even if you don't feel like coding, if you see someone major that is missing from the characters list or a company that hasn't been added, please create a PR!
- Add more company names: there are plenty of references to fictional companies and Scranton-area places that could be added for even more variability.
- Cities and localities: I don't know if there will be enough cities mentioned in the office (mostly from the PA area), but I think it's worth looking into whether the provider can provide enough cities to have them added.
- Lines from the episodes? Maybe a text provider that returns a random sentence from an actual line of dialog?
