[new]: faker(what, localization, options)

[unytics]

Check the idea has not already been suggested

• I could not find my idea in existing issues

Edit the title above with self-explanatory function name and argument names

• The function name and the argument names I entered in the title above seems self explanatory to me.

BigFunction Description as it would appear in the documentation

Use https://faker.readthedocs.io/ to generate fake data.

Code should look something like:

import json
from faker import Faker
fake = Faker(localization)
kwargs = json.loads(options)
return getattr(fake, what)(**kwargs)

Examples of (arguments, expected output) as they would appear in the documentation

• what='name', localization='it_IT', options=null --> Elda Palumbo

Hi @unytics,

I think the parameter options will be irrelevant for the users. Because users have to look at the Faker docs, only then will they be able to use those parameters. Otherwise given function will raise an error if someone enters any parameter. A null can be returned but that will not give a user a clear idea of what's happening. The options parameter will only be useful for those who have the idea of Faker.

For example:
Suppose -

localization = "it_IT"
what = "name"
options = '{"x": null}'

if someone uses this option then the function will generate TypeError: Provider.name() got an unexpected keyword argument 'x'. We can handle this error and None can be returned. But that will not let the user know what he did wrong.

You're right. Let's remove ˋoptions` parameter
