Create a collection

[jongbonga]

I want to create a collection of custom objects

e.g: const customObject = {this: randBoolean(), that: randShape(), ...} hand have and array of [customObject, ...].

Do I need to handle it myself with a loop or there is something randCollection({collection: customObject, length: 5}) already (I've gone through the doc and couldn't find such)?.

Hi,

Yeah if you want to dictate the shape, then i'd say it's something you'd need to handle on your side. If you just wanted a random object, then maybe randJson() works for you?

@theryansmee I think what @jongbonga means, is to be able to generate a collection of specific fake object. like it was done internally by using the method fake :

fake(() => {
    const firstName = randFirstName({ withAccents: false });
    const lastName = randLastName({ withAccents: false });

    const user = {
      userid: randUuid(),
      mail: randEmail({ firstName, lastName }),
      name,
      lastName,
      phoneNumber: randPhoneNumber(),
      img: randAvatar(),
      username: randUserName({ firstName, lastName }),
      address: randAddress(),
    };

    return user;
  }, {length: 10})

But fake method, was not exported, can we consider exports this function ? Or with another name ?

Try to create a new PR to introduce a function to do this : #302

What do you think ?
