Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lorem Ipsum for Code?
Lorem Ipsum for Code generates realistic-looking placeholder code snippets in various programming languages. Just like traditional Lorem Ipsum provides placeholder text for designs, this tool provides placeholder code for developer-focused mockups, presentations, tutorials, and UI prototypes.
Which programming languages are supported?
The tool supports 12 popular programming languages: JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, HTML, CSS, Java, Go, Rust, SQL, Bash, PHP, and Ruby. Each language generates syntactically appropriate code with proper formatting and conventions.
What types of code snippets can I generate?
Depending on the language, you can generate different snippet types: Functions, Classes, API calls, Loops/Iterators, and Conditionals. Some languages support all types while others focus on their most common patterns (e.g., HTML generates markup structures, CSS generates stylesheets).
What do the complexity levels mean?
Simple generates minimal, straightforward code. Medium adds more realistic features like error handling and data transformation. Complex produces production-like code with caching, retry logic, configuration objects, and comprehensive error handling.
Is the generated code functional?
The code is syntactically correct and follows real patterns, but it's designed as placeholder content. Variable names and function calls reference placeholder data. It's perfect for visual demonstrations but would need modification for actual use.
