FakerPHP as DataProvider

In the near future, we will introduce FakerPHP as a DataProvider to the bundle. You will be able to create a config file for each class, where you specify which FakerProvider should be used for which field. Mentioned config file will look something like this:

YourDataObject:
    firstName: 'firstNameMale|firstNameFemale'
    lastName: 'lastName'
    email: 'email'
    adress: 'address, city postcode'
             

In your fixture, you will then be able to use our DataProvider like this:

    $dataProviderFactory->generate(YourObject::class, $amount, $options = null);

In the options array, you can override any attribute while generating the data. Example:

    $dataProviderFactory->generate(YourObject::class, $amount, [
        'firstName' => 'John',
        'lastName' => 'Doe',
        'email' => '[email protected]'
    ]);
