Thank you for your feature proposal.

We marked it as "waiting for user interest" for now to gather some feedback from our community:

• If you would like to see this feature be implemented, please react to the description with an up-vote (:+1:).
• If you have a suggestion or want to point out some special cases that need to be considered, please leave a comment, so we are aware about them.

We would also like to hear about other community members' use cases for the feature to give us a better understanding of their potential implicit or explicit requirements.

We will start the implementation based on:

• the number of votes (:+1:) and comments
• the relevance for the ecosystem
• availability of alternatives and workarounds
• and the complexity of the requested feature

We do this because:

• There are plenty of languages/countries out there and we would like to ensure that every method can cover all or almost all of them.
• Every feature we add to faker has "costs" associated to it:
  • initial costs: design, implementation, reviews, documentation
  • running costs: awareness of the feature itself, more complex module structure, increased bundle size, more work during refactors

Currently, we are still waiting on user interest here. We will notify you/everyone when this has gained enough traction.
If you are interested in this feature itself, please don't forget to upvote it.

This would be very useful for us too!

faker-ruby has https://github.com/faker-ruby/faker/blob/main/lib/locales/en/dog.yml faker.creature.dog.name

coming here a year later to say yes I would love pet names

This now has 9 upvotes, so it's approaching the point where it gets considered for implementation :) For those who would find this useful, would you just want a generic name that would work for any kind of animal ("Coco", "Max", "Shadow")? Or might you want ones which are specific for a type of animal like cats ("Whiskers", "Mittens", "Felix") etc? (if so, which animals?)

What would the main use-cases be? Like faking a website for a vet clinic? Or a dog-walking service? Or just for fun?

Both would be great. Being able to get generic pet names or specific names by type of animal.

I can't share the details due to NDA, but what I can share is that I need it for the mock data for one of my corporate projects

[ST-DDT]

For your usecase, are dog names different from horse/another animal names? Are there names that could be used for all pets?

[benrobinsonuk]

I think that's probably fine, thanks for that, I'll relay it to the team. Thanks for your help. Ben

This now has 13 upvotes, and should be easy enough to implement. Suggest we start with just a generic pet name list for any kind of pet, and then if there's demand later we could add specific cat or dog names etc.

What should the method name be?

faker.animal.pet()
faker.animal.petName()
?

[ST-DDT]

I would go for petName, because then it is easier to add catName, dogName etc. in the future.
pet isn't as clear, because it could return a pet type as well.

Can assign to me?

I would also request @ST-DDT if you can point me to a PR where any new method on any module was added.

It will be a good starting point for me to understand what all would be required when new implementation is getting added. Basically to understand how a fully-complete PR should look like after I am done.

[xDivisionByZerox]

I would also request @ST-DDT if you can point me to a PR where any new method on any module was added.

You can take a look at #3162, which is the latest new method I know about.
I highly encouraged you to have a read through our Contribution Documentation regardless.

[suyashgulati]

Thanks @xDivisionByZerox

Yes I have gone through the docs once, also had some refactoring PRs merged previously.
Just wanted to glance on how a new implementation PR should look like.
