I wanted to generate a fake name of length 10 using Faker python package.
from faker import Faker
fake = Faker()
print(fake.name())
it generates a fake name of any length, but I wanted to Generate a name of length 10.
is there any way to generate a name of length 10 using Faker or set length 10 before generating fake data ?
You could write a loop:
from itertools import count
from faker import Faker
faker = Faker()
names = (faker.name() for _ in count())
name = next(name for name in names
if len(name) == 10)
No, but it is rather easy to create a generator that filters only length 10 results from Faker:
import faker, itertools
def conditional_fake(cond):
fake = fake.Faker()
while True:
x = fake.name()
if cond(x):
yield x
# print 20 names of length 10
for n in itertools.islice(conditional_fake(lambda name: len(name)==10), 20):
print(n)
It can be simply done by this:-
fake = Faker()
fake.pystr(min_chars=None, max_chars=10)
