Factory.attr(_, value) support value function

[ivawzh]

Hi.

I am trying to use Faker with Factory.attr. Currently, the second argument is limited to T[K] from attr<K extends keyof T>(name: K, value: T[K]).

Would you please make it support value: T[K] | () => T[K]?

Hello @ivawzh, you can use the sequence method to do that:

.sequence('username', (_) => faker.internet.userName());

Hi @RodolfoSilva, thanks for the workaround tips.

Meanwhile imho, it'd still be better to have an intuitive API that uses the right names for the right things. sequence is normally referred to a sequential number-embedded generator. value function is better reflecting a stateless attribute value generator.

I agree, something like https://preview.adonisjs.com/guides/database/factories
