As of version v3.0.0 faker.js contains a super useful generator method Faker.fake for combining faker API methods using a mustache string format.
Example:
console.log(faker.fake('{{name.lastName}}, {{name.firstName}} {{name.suffix}}'));
// outputs: "Marks, Dean Sr."This will interpolate the format string with the value of methods name.lastName(), name.firstName(), and name.suffix()
A documentation can be generated with npm run-script doc. The docs are put into ./doc. Here is

As of version v3.0.0 faker.js supports incremental loading of locales.
By default, requiring faker will include all locale data.
In a production environment, you may only want to include the locale data for a specific set of locales.
// loads only de locale
var faker = require('faker/locale/de');npm install .
make test
