v3.8.0 (2026-04-16)

Enabling lazy load

This version introduces lazy loading. It means users will only pay for what they use. Faker loads 2x faster when it's enabled.

Lazy loading the generators is disabled by default. To enable it, choose one of the configuration options below:

1 - Set lazy load as a Faker Config

Faker::Config.lazy_loading = true

2 - Set lazy load as an environment variable

FAKER_LAZY_LOAD = 1

We hope you get to see the improvement by enabling it. Please file a bug report for any issues!

Thanks to @jeremyevans for the mentoring, and to @thdaraujo for pairing and code reviews.

v3.4.2 (2024-07-16)

Happy July with a new faker-ruby release.

This version:

  • introduces a breaking change for Faker::NationalHealthService.british_number (more details below)
  • adds translation for some generators
  • fixes bugs

Breaking changes

The NHS sets aside a range of numbers from 999 000 0000 to 999 999 9999 for test purposes. The old range could produce NHS numbers that were in use by real patients in the UK/England and Wales. In this version, Faker::NationalHealthService.british_number uses the test range for creating NHS numbers rather than the previous 400 000 0010 to 499 999 9999 range.

Breaking change was introduced in "Add test range param to NHS numbers" by @neanias in https://github.com/faker-ruby/faker/pull/2947

What's Changed

Happy 2024 with a new faker-ruby release.

This version includes bug and documentation fixes, and some changes on the contributing guides.

faker-ruby is is not accepting new features proposals

As we discussed here, we want to improve faker's performance and organization. There hasn't been to many bug reports and most of the open issues are related to performance and confusion around using faker.

As we have limited time to invest in faker, reviewing new generators and locales prevent us from focusing on the big picture work. With this decision, we hope to make the necessary changes for faker to go to the next level. Please read the Contributing guides for ways to help us get there.

v3.2.0 (2023-04-14)

Happy Spring with a new Faker release! 🌼

This version changes Faker::Internet.email, Faker::Internet.domain_name, Faker::Internet.safe_email, and Faker::Internet.free_email default behavior.

These generators email are now RFC 2606 compliant. They generate safe values by default using the Reserved Top Level DNS Names: example and test. To maintain backwards compatibility and give users the option to use non-safe domains at their own risk, custom domains are allowed.

Faker::Internet.safe_email, and Faker::Internet.free_email have been deprecated. Users have until October 2023 to make the necessary changes.

More details and updated docs can be found here.
