Shameless plug - JavaScript data generator

Shameless plug - JavaScript data generator

I recently released a small script that I've been using to build fake data
to use in a UI before the backend systems are in place/ have data at large
volumes to work with.

You can find it here - https://github.com/aaronpowell/tbd (or here: 
http://search.npmjs.org/#/tbd)

The simplest usage is like this:
var data = tbd.from({ hello: 'world' }).make(10);

It also supports more advanced scenarios such as using random values for 
properties and creating data from classes.

Hopefully others out there can find a bit of use to this.

Thanks for sharing that, it's also worth checking out MockJSON for
generating structured random JSON test data before your backend is ready.
Can hijack JSON and JSONP requests  to make working with it easy.

Without sounding overly biased I really don’t like the syntax of mockjson,
it seems very clunky to setup data stubs
