Official Datafaker logo and Trino reference on website

[Lukashmoser]

Hey just sent a pr that went live on Trino.io adding Datafaker to its datasources list. Made a logo based off what was on datafaker.net and was wondering if there is a more official logo?

Here's the PR
Link to Trino.io location Trino

Also was wondering if you have something similar on the Datafaker website that links to usage examples?

Fyi there is also a Trino Community Broadcast about the Faker connector this Thursday (Feb 27, 2025).

Also was wondering if you have something similar on the Datafaker website that links to usage examples?

Like the getting started guide?

There seems to be a mention there that datafaker can't generate JSON, that seems inaccurate.

Edit: "there" being the Trino connector details.

[Lukashmoser]

Was thinking more along the line of if you have a spot on the site where you list projects that use Datafaker, similar to the datasources list on Trino.io

[Lukashmoser]

From what I understand that's a current limitation of the connector.

Thanks for the fast response @kingthorin - btw. if you wanted to be a secondary guest in the Trino Community Broadcast .. that would be ok as well. Just ping me

Hmmm here are some Maven is aware of: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.datafaker/datafaker/2.4.2/usages

Not sure if we maintain a list, will dig around.

Hi @Lukashmoser , thanks for sending that PR and letting us know about it.

I wasn't sure if the upcoming episodes are upcoming, or were upcoming a year ago, since the year mentioned is 2024:

27 Feb 2024: Trino Community Broadcast 71 - Fake it real good

So, thanks for listing, we don't really have a real logo, maybe we should one day, so thank you for creating yours!

It seems the list of "projects using Datafaker" is no longer available on Github for some reason, but Netflix DGS is using Datafaker, I know Alibaba and Microsoft are, and quite a few projects like Wiremock, Microcks, and even EasyRandom, a project I'm a big fan of, which unfortunately stopped being maintained.

@bodiam , @kingthorin it seems GH changed a bit rules for Used By and default settings
after a bit playing around I was able to make it working again, now should be shown (also checked via different device without any login)

[kingthorin]

https://github.com/datafaker-net/datafaker/network/dependents 😀 wasn't working the other day.

[mosabua]

Thanks for reporting the wrong year .. I fixed that now. The show will happen tomorrow and youtube video and more will follow later tomorrow or Friday.

[mosabua]

Also .. it might be good to have a list on your website ... @Lukashmoser could then send a PR .. and we could send one for the TCB episode mentioned in your news section.

[snuyanzin]

That might be a good idea
from what I know this might be a good place https://github.com/datafaker-net/datafaker/blob/main/docs/in-the-media/links.md
and then after some rebuild(not immediately) it will be available at https://www.datafaker.net/in-the-media/links/

[Lukashmoser]

@snuyanzin, Thanks for directing to where the changes should be made. A pr adding TCB 71 to the page is here #1507

[snuyanzin]

is there anything else expected to be done here or we can close this issue now?

[mosabua]

From the Trino project perspective this is all good and done. Feel free to use the image we put together as logo in your readme or whatever.. or if someone on your project creates a better one .. let us know and we can update our site.

@Lukashmoser sent a PR for your news section and we had a great Trino Community Broadcast episode with @nineinchnick and @colebow
