🧑 Name Transformer

The Name transformer is used to generate realistic names. It supports generation of first names, last names, or both combined as a full name.

🔁 Alternation

This transformer does not mutate the existing row value — it generates a new value.

✅ Valid Data Types

• String

⚙️ Options

Option	Type	Description	Default
first-name	Boolean	Whether to include a first name	true
last-name	Boolean	Whether to include a last name	true

🧪 Examples

Example 1: Default (First + Last Name)

[[table.columns]]
name = "column-example"
transformer = "name"

Output: "Daphney Schimmel"

---

Example 2: Only First Name

[[table.columns]]
name = "column-example"
transformer = { name = { first-name = true } }

Output: "Rae"

---

Example 3: Only Last Name

[[table.columns]]
name = "column-example"
transformer = { name = { last-name = true } }

Output: "Greenfelder"

---

🪄 Alias Support

Instead of using the object-based config, you can use transformer aliases:

[[table.columns]]
name = "column-example"
transformer = "first-name"

[[table.columns]]
name = "column-example"
transformer = "last-name"

These are shorthand alternatives to:

transformer = { name = { first-name = true, last-name = false } }

and

transformer = { name = { first-name = false, last-name = true } }
