string
Commentary
added in 0.0.5
Generates strings which may be templated with #{}, containing the names of variables or Java Faker expressions (Faker version 1.0.2). Vars will attempt to be resolved first.
Faker functions that take parameters must be invoked with single quotes and no spaces, as in #{Date.birthday '2','4'}. See the examples.

Examples
Generating string values
Use any of the valid Faker expressions in #{}.
{
"_gen": "string",
"expr": "#{Name.fullName}"
}
[
"Ms. Shakira McLaughlin",
"Miss Marshall Von",
"Tiffani Schaden",
"Frederick Schoen",
"Melda Cartwright"
]
Referring to vars
Refer to variables defined in vars or varsOnce. These are given preference over Faker expressions, but both can be resolved in the same string.
{
"topic": "sandbox",
"vars": {
"n": {
"_gen": "uniformDistribution",
"bounds": [
1,
10
],
"decimals": 0
}
},
"value": {
"_gen": "string",
"expr": "The magic number is #{n}"
}
}
[
"The magic number is 1",
"The magic number is 6",
"The magic number is 8",
"The magic number is 5",
"The magic number is 3"
]
Calling Faker functions
Some Faker expressions are functions that take parameters. When there's a first-class ShadowTraffic alternative function, you should use they're much less finicky to use. But if you have to, invoke them with single quotes, commas between parameters, and no spaces.
{
"_gen": "string",
"expr": "#{Date.birthday '2','4'}"
}
[
"Wed Apr 06 15:54:45 PDT 2022",
"Wed Mar 16 23:33:52 PDT 2022",
"Tue Jan 18 17:57:04 PST 2022",
"Tue Mar 16 00:39:59 PDT 2021",
"Thu May 13 22:18:11 PDT 2021"
