Adds some extra providers to [fakerphp/faker](https://github.com/fakerphp/faker). Some are ported/adapted from [the original](https://github.com/faker-ruby/faker) and [mbezhanov/faker-provider-collection](https://github.com/mbezhanov/faker-provider-collection).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require geekish/faker-providers
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

To register all providers:

```
use Faker\Generator;

$faker = new Faker\Generator();

FakerProviders::register($faker);
```

In Laravel, adding providers to the Faker instance accessible via `fake()` can be done like so:

```
use Faker\Generator;
use Geekish\FakerProviders\FakerProviders;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;

$locale = $this->app->get('config')->get('app.faker_locale', 'en_US');
$abstract = Generator::class.':'.$locale;

$this->app->resolving($abstract, function (Generator $faker, Application $app) {
    FakerProviders::register($faker);

    return $faker;
});
```

Of course, you are free to register the providers individually:

```
use Faker\Generator;
use Geekish\FakerProviders\Arts\Literature;

$faker = new Faker\Generator();

$faker->addProvider(new Literature($faker));

$faker->bookTitle();
```
