simplest way to create fake data in typescript using faker package and a iterable array helper method

fake-product-data.ts

import faker from "faker";

function createIterable(length: number) {
  return Array.from(Array(length));
}

function createFakeData<T>(datumCreator: any, length: number): T[] {
  return createIterable(length).map(() => datumCreator());
}

interface Product {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  price: number;
}

const products = createFakeData<Product>(
  () => ({
    id: faker.datatype.uuid(),
    name: faker.commerce.productName(),
    price: faker.commerce.price(),
  }),
  50
);
