Fake Data Documentation

Custom Libraries Pro only MV3

Custom libraries are executed everytime you open or reload a webpage, and in each frame of the page in case there are multiple iframes.

These libraries are executed in an sandboxed iframe and don't have direct access to any DOM element.

Custom libraries are useful to perform actions on DOM elements through the FakeDOM API, or to extend the functionality of your custom codes by providing helper functions or additional generator sources.

Fake Data comes bundled with two libraries: Fakeropen in new window and Moment.jsopen in new window.

  • After this, you will need to reload any web page that you already have opened in order to have the library executed into them.
