Generate Bogus Fakers

Turn any C# class or record into a ready-to-use Bogus Faker<T> — right from Solution Explorer, with zero configuration required.

What it does

• Right-click a csharp file → generates a Faker<T> for the class/record in it
• Right-click a folder → generates Fakers for every eligible class in it
• Right-click a project → generates Fakers for all the classes in the entire project

Analysis runs on the Roslyn semantic model — not text/regex parsing — so nested types, records, and nullable properties resolve correctly every time.

Supported types out of the box

Nullable value types are unwrapped automatically. Only settable, non-static, non-indexer properties are included.

Convention-based realistic data

Property names are matched against common naming conventions and mapped to realistic generators instead of generic random values:

• Email → email address
• FirstName / GivenName, LastName / Surname / FamilyName → real names
• PhoneNumber / Phone / Mobile → phone numbers
• UserName / Username, Url / Website → internet data
• City, Country, PostalCode / ZipCode / Zip → addresses
• CompanyName / Company → company names

Anything the generator can't confidently map is left as a clearly marked // TODO: comment in the generated file instead of a silent guess, so you always know what needs a manual rule.

Example

public class Customer {
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string Email { get; set; }
    public int Age { get; set; }
    public List<string> Tags { get; set; }
}

generates:

public class CustomerFaker : Faker<Customer> {
    public CustomerFaker() {
        RuleFor(x => x.FirstName, f => f.Name.FirstName());
        RuleFor(x => x.Email, f => f.Internet.Email());
        RuleFor(x => x.Age, f => f.Random.Int());
        RuleFor(x => x.Tags, f => new List<string>(f.Make(3, () => f.Name.FullName())));
    }
}

Configurable (Tools > Options > Microlens Synthesizer)

• Overwrite Existing Fakers — regenerate in place, or skip when the file already exists
• Collection Element Count — how many elements to generate for arrays, lists, sets, and dictionaries
• Faker Class Suffix — customize the generated class name suffix (default Faker)
• Log File Path & Mode — optional run log (every run, multi-file batches only, skipped/failed only, or failed only)

Generated files are added to your project automatically.
