Usage
The library is exceptionally user-friendly, and it only requires you to import a Data Provider object that corresponds to the desired data type.
For instance, the Person provider can be imported to access personal information, including name, surname, email, and other related fields:
>>> from mimesis import Person
>>> from mimesis.locales import Locale
>>> person = Person(Locale.EN)
>>> person.full_name()
'Brande Sears'
>>> person.email(domains=['example.com'])
'roccelline1878@example.com'
>>> person.email(domains=['mimesis.name'], unique=True)
'f272a05d39ec46fdac5be4ac7be45f3f@mimesis.name'
>>> person.telephone(mask='1-4##-8##-5##3')
'1-436-896-5213'You can learn more about other providers and locales in our documentation.
