Control character length of individual random values
vgjenks opened this issue · comments
Description
Cannot control length of randomly-generated value, which causes database insert errors where field length matters.
Proposed solution
If I want a randJobTitle() for example - it'd be nice if I could pass an option to limit the results by character length. I'm not talking about a simple substring, but rather, only return values that are of that length or less.
randJobTitle({ size: 50 }) - returns a random job title that is of 50 characters or less. The value "Senior Operational Administrative Assistant - Marketing" would not be selected but "Developer" would be. I'm making these values up of course, to illustrate. This would prevent an insert error if the field was varchar(50).
randJobTitle({ size: 50, length: 10 }) - would do the same, but would be an array of those w/ 50 characters or less.
