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.

Why Sedkiy Faker?
Standard FakerPHP locale fallbacks often produce structurally invalid phone numbers, non-existent cities, and culturally mismatched honorifics. Sedkiy Faker fixes this at the container level, so fake() just works correctly out of the box.
| Standard FakerPHP Fallbacks | Sedkiy Faker Localized Engine |
|---|---|
| Structurally invalid phone formats | Real ITU-T compliant mobile and landline numbers |
| Non-existent / generic city names | Authentic city and region catalogs per territory |
| Culturally mismatched name honorifics | Gender and region-specific honorifics (e.g., Si, Lalla) |
| Manual setup and provider overriding | Zero-configuration auto-extension into Laravel |
Requirements
| Requirement | Version |
|---|---|
| PHP | 8.1+ |
| Composer | Any recent version |
| Laravel | 10, 11, or 12 (optional — not required for standalone use) |
Installation
Quick Start
That's it — no config files, no service provider setup required for standalone use.
Usage
Standalone PHP Usage
Instantiate a localized generator manually using the fluent SedkiyFaker factory:
Reproducible Outputs (Seeding)
Pass a seed to get deterministic output across test runs:
Chaining Custom Providers
Add your own providers on top without losing locale-specific behavior:
This also works with fully custom provider classes you write yourself — useful for fields Sedkiy Faker doesn't ship with (national ID formats, tax numbers, etc.).
Laravel Integration (Zero Code Changes)
Zero Code Pollution — there's no need to touch your existing factories or seeders. Sedkiy Faker hooks directly into Laravel's
fake()helper and$this->fakerproperty via container extenders.
Set your desired locale in .env:
If omitted, it falls back to
app.faker_localeinconfig/app.php, then toen_US.
Your existing factories now generate localized data automatically:
Publishing the Config File (Optional)
Supported Locales & Fields
Each locale supports the Person, Address, Internet, and (MENA only) PhoneNumber providers. Commonly used methods per category:
- Person —
name(),firstName(),firstNameMale(),firstNameFemale(),lastName(),title(),titleMale(),titleFemale() - Address —
city(),streetAddress(),address(),postcode(),state() - PhoneNumber (MENA locales) —
phoneNumber(),mobileNumber() - Internet —
email(),freeEmail(),userName(),domainName()
Note: Fields outside these categories (e.g.
jobTitle(),url()) are not part of this package's localized data and will fall back to FakerPHP's generic/default provider output — verify with a quick test before relying on them in a specific locale.

Contributing
Contributions that extend locale coverage are welcome:
- Fork the repository and create a feature branch.
- Follow code standards — format with PHP CS Fixer:
composer run php-cs-fixer. - Ensure data integrity — new locale dictionaries need at least 30 real-world entries.
- Add tests in
tests/Providers/for any new locale or field. - Open a Pull Request describing your changes.
