.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

    translation.respond_to?(:sample) ? translation.sample : translation

end

.parse(key) ⇒ Object

Load formatted strings from the locale, “parsing” them into method calls that can be used to generate a formatted translation: e.g., “#first_name #last_name”.

    # If the token had a class Prefix (e.g., Name.first_name)
    # grab the constant, otherwise use self
    cls = kls ? Faker.const_get(kls.chop) : self

    # If an optional leading parentheses is not present, prefix.should == "", otherwise prefix.should == "("
    # In either case the information will be retained for reconstruction of the string.
    text = prefix

    # If the class has the method, call it, otherwise
    # fetch the transation (i.e., faker.name.first_name)
    text += cls.respond_to?(meth) ? cls.send(meth) : fetch("#{(kls || self).to_s.split('::').last.downcase}.#{meth.downcase}")

    # And tack on spaces, commas, etc. left over in the string
    text += etc.to_s
  }.join

Generates a random value between the interval

  rand(from..to)
end

.regexify(re) ⇒ Object

Given a regular expression, attempt to generate a string that would match it. This is a rather simple implementation, so don’t be shocked if it blows up on you in a spectacular fashion.

It does not handle ., *, unbounded ranges such as 1,, extensions such as (?=), character classes, some abbreviations for character classes, and nested parentheses.

I told you it was simple. :) It’s also probably dog-slow, so you shouldn’t use it.

It will take a regex like this:

/^[A-PR-UWYZ0-9][AEHMNPRTVXY0-9]?? 1,2[ABD-HJLN-UW-Z]2$/

and generate a string like this:

“U3V 3TP”
