Random Users Generator
This is a wrapper to use fake user APIs at https://randomuser.me/
Installation
npm i --save random-users-generator
Usage
Once the package is installed, you can import the library with the name you prefer using import and start using it, see example.
import generatorClient, { UsersResponse } from "random-users-generator";Response data model is the same as the REST API.
Example
import generatorClient, { UsersResponse } from "random-users-generator";
// request single user
generatorClient.getUsers()
.then((data: UsersResponse) => {
// handle response data
console.log(data);
}).catch(err => {
// handle errors
console.error(err);
});The function getUsers() accepts an option object to specify data you want to retrieve, all parameters are optional. For example:
import generatorClient, { UsersResponse } from "random-users-generator";
// retrieve 10 users, only email address field
generatorClient.getUsers({
results: 10,
include: ['email'],
}).then((data: UsersResponse) => {
// handle response data
console.log(data);
}).catch(err => {
// handle errors
console.error(err);
