Method: Faker::Base.method_missing

Defined in:
lib/faker.rb

.method_missing(m, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

You can add whatever you want to the locale file, and it will get caught here. E.g., in your locale file, create a

name:
  girls_name: ["Alice", "Cheryl", "Tatiana"]

Then you can call Faker::Name.girls_name and it will act like #first_name
