that is cool! I don't knew about this. But my idea is litle different, this annotation is used in runtime, my project use annotation processor to generate bot class, you don't need annotate model class and "dirty" it, annotation processor will generate a class to build instances and allow you configure providers for each class properties, create extensions for generate your bot and store it in a database ( for exemple).
I thing many things to make project very extendable and flexible, but thank you for space to show it :)

That's great @juniorjrjl , thank you for sharing! What's your intention with JFaker? Do you want to keep it a separate project and use Datafaker as a potential data provider? Or would you consider a tighter integration between the 2? I think we would be open to any kind of approach, and if we should make changes to make JFaker + Datafaker easier, let us know, happy to discuss!

we were thinking about similar approach however we faced a couple of limitations

1. How to generate an object with different locale
2. How to generate an object with different seed
3. How to generate several different objects (one with Japanese locale and seed 1, another with Japanese locale and seed 10, the third one with French locale and seed 10 and the fourth one with French locale and seed 1000)?

How do you solve this with such configuration?

@bodiam I think about integration is good, I believe this suggest have a great potential and could be very interesting to help a create tests were developer write less code to generate object instances and care more about tests's scenary.

@snuyanzin about your questions

1 I my actual code I didn`t think about, but I think it's possible make some changes

// imports omitidos
public class UserEntityBot extends AbstractBot<UserEntity> {
    private MyCustomFaker faker = new MyCustomFaker();

    private Supplier<Long> id = () -> (long) faker.number().positive();
    private Supplier<String> name = () -> faker.lorem().word();

    public BookModelBot withId(final Supplier<Long> id) {
        this.id = id;
        return this;
    }

    public BookModelBot withName(final Supplier<String> name) {
        this.name = name;
        return this;
    }

    public BookModel build() {
        var userEntity = new br.com.sample.UserEntity();
        userEntity.setId(id.get());
        userEntity.setName(name.get());
        return userEntity;
    }
}

this code is a class example generated by my code, for solve this problem we could change a moment where faker instance is created (instantiate in build method for example) and pass a locale by param

2 - In this code is possible, all generated bots extend a class AbstractBot, but is possible configure bots to use another class, you need create a another class inherits AbstractBot and put in this class a method who returns a bot instance after save it on database, I create a wiki in this repository explain some resources https://github.com/juniorjrjl/jfaker/wiki (sorry if my english is bad in this wiki) and in this topic have a solution of this question https://github.com/juniorjrjl/jfaker/wiki/9---Customize-your-Bots

3 - For this we need think about faker object is instantiate ( like I explain in answer 1)

this code is a first version, We can think about improve it and include more features.

thanks for explanation
i was asking since all 3 cases are now covered by datafaker existing functionality and locale/seed should be just specified via annotation or method call (both are possible)
no need for other changes

Is any action required for this ticket?

from datafaker.

i don't think so
i would consider it like FYI
