Start using the RandomPerson class to fetch random user data:

Future<void> fetchRandomPerson() async {
final randomPerson = RandomPerson();
try {
List<RandomPersonData> persons = await randomPerson.get(results: 1);
// Do something with the fetched data
print(persons[0].name?.first); // Print the first name of the fetched person
} catch (e) {
print('Error fetching data: $e');
}
}

Requesting Multiple Users #
You can fetch up to 5,000 generated users in one request using the results parameter.
RandomPerson randomPerson = RandomPerson();
List<RandomPersonData> persons = await randomPerson.get(results: 5000);

Specifying a Gender #
You can specify whether you want only male or only female users by adding the gender parameter to your request. Valid values for the gender parameter are "male" or "female," or you can leave it blank to receive both male and female users.
RandomPerson randomPerson = RandomPerson();
List<RandomPersonData> females = await randomPerson.get(gender: Gender.female);
List<RandomPersonData> males = await randomPerson.get(gender: Gender.male);
List<RandomPersonData> both = await randomPerson.get();

Passwords #
By default, passwords are chosen randomly from a list of ~10k top used passwords. Starting with version 1.1, you can have more control over how passwords are generated using the password option.
RandomPerson randomPerson = RandomPerson();
List<RandomPersonData> persons = await randomPerson.get(password: "upper,lower,1-16");
copied to clipboard
You can mix and match character sets for the CHARSETS option and specify the min/max length of the passwords you want to generate.
Nationalities #
You can request data for specific nationalities using the nat parameter. Pictures won't be affected, but data such as location, phone, etc., will be more appropriate for the specified nationality.
RandomPerson randomPerson = RandomPerson();
List<RandomPersonData> usPersons = await randomPerson.get(nationality: Nationality.US);
copied to clipboard
You can specify multiple nationalities using a comma-separated list.
Including/Excluding Fields #
You can specify which fields to include or exclude from the generated user data using the inc and exc parameters.
RandomPerson randomPerson = RandomPerson();
List<RandomPersonData> namesAndNats = await randomPerson.get(includeFields: [IncludeField.name, IncludeField.nat]);
List<RandomPersonData> withoutLogin = await randomPerson.get(excludeFields: [ExcludeField.login]);
