Generate Realistic Fake Data for Testing Generate realistic fake names, email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses for testing and development.

The Fake Data Generator works under the hood by using JavaScript's built-in `Math.random()` function to select items from curated arrays of data, such as first names, last names, streets, cities, and domains. These arrays are defined within the tool's code and contain lists of common values for each field. When generating a fake record, it uses the `pick` function to randomly select an item from each array, ensuring that each field is populated with a unique value. The tool also employs standard formatting rules for phone numbers and email addresses, using template literals to combine selected values into a single string.

The generated data is stored in an array of objects, where each object represents a single fake record. This array is then used to populate a table in the user interface, allowing users to view and interact with the generated data. When exporting the data to CSV or JSON files, the tool uses browser APIs such as `URL.createObjectURL()` and `Blob` to create a downloadable file containing the formatted data. The CSV export feature uses a simple string concatenation approach to build the comma-separated values, while the JSON export feature relies on JavaScript's built-in `JSON.stringify()` function to convert the array of objects into a JSON-formatted string.

The tool's use of React state management and event handling enables it to respond dynamically to user input, such as changing the number of records to generate or clicking the "Generate Fake Data" button. The `useCallback` hook is used to memoize the `generate` function, ensuring that it is only recreated when the dependencies change, which helps to improve performance by reducing unnecessary re-renders. Overall, the tool's implementation relies on a combination of JavaScript fundamentals, React-specific features, and browser APIs to provide a functional and user-friendly interface for generating fake data.
