Django Integration

Use SmartFaker inside Django views, management commands, factories, or data-migration scripts.

A simple view

# app/views.py
from django.http import JsonResponse, HttpResponseBadRequest
from smartfaker import Faker

faker = Faker()

def address_view(request, country):
    try:
        return JsonResponse(faker.address(country), safe=False)
    except ValueError as exc:
        return HttpResponseBadRequest(str(exc))

def iban_view(request, country):
    try:
        return JsonResponse(faker.iban(country))
    except ValueError as exc:
        return HttpResponseBadRequest(str(exc))

URL wiring:

# app/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from .views import address_view, iban_view

urlpatterns = [
    path("address/<str:country>/", address_view),
    path("iban/<str:country>/", iban_view),
]

Seeding fixtures

# app/management/commands/seed_users.py
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand
from smartfaker import Faker
from app.models import User

class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = "Seed demo users with fake addresses"

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        faker = Faker()
        for code in ["us", "gb", "de", "fr"]:
            for addr in faker.address(code, amount=25):
                User.objects.create(
                    name=addr.get("person_name", "Anon"),
                    city=addr.get("city", ""),
                    country=code.upper(),
                )
        self.stdout.write(self.style.SUCCESS("Done."))

For Django’s async views, swap to the a* API exactly as in the FastAPI example.
