You want Faker to automate that?

[ftassi]

I'd like to automate this

$faker = FakerFactory::create();

$fake = new \stdClass();
$fake->firstName = $faker->firstName;
$fake->lastName = $faker->lastName;
$fake->email = $faker->safeEmail;
$fake->phoneNumber = $faker->phoneNumber;

$fake could be a stdClass or an associative array. I'd like to pass a generic "container" (not an entity) and have it filled with fake data for me.

Seems either too specific, or too simple - in the way that a Faker code for doing that would probably be as long as the code you wrote.

As for now I'm just starting using faker so I'm not really sure about what I'd like to automate and what it isn't worth it, after a few use cases I would have a better idea about it. If I'll come out with a generic solution I'll PR it to you so you'll be able to review it.

Sounds like we can close this issue for now.
