What is Mockreate?
Mockreate AI is a Figma Community plugin that generates random data for selected text layers in your Figma designs. It helps designers quickly populate their projects with realistic mock data, eliminating the need to manually create fake entries or switch between external websites to copy and paste content. The plugin integrates directly within Figma, streamlining the design process and enhancing efficiency when working on data-heavy designs like tables, user lists, or forms.
The tool offers a comprehensive variety of datasets including first names (with sorting options for male, female, or both), last names, full names, usernames, emails, phone numbers (with customizable prefix and length), dates (with formatting options), time (with formatting options), number ranges, money amounts (within specified range and currency symbol position), credit card numbers, and Ethereum public addresses. Users can select specific layers in Figma, choose the type of data they need, and Mockreate AI will generate and replace the selected layers with mock data accordingly.
Mockreate AI is particularly useful for UX designers, UI designers, product designers, and anyone working with Figma who needs to create realistic design mockups with dummy data. It's ideal for filling tables of data with names, email addresses, prices, and more when creating prototypes, dashboards, user interfaces, or any design that requires realistic data representation. The plugin also supports custom datasets that can be imported via URL in JSON format, allowing users to work with their own specific data requirements.
The plugin features dark mode for added visual customization and is developed by Fabio Monzani as a third-party plugin licensed under the Figma Community Free Resource License. This makes it a free tool accessible to all Figma users who want to quickly and conveniently populate their design projects without the hassle of manual data entry.
