Optional weight not working as intended about faker HOT 7 CLOSED

Ok thanks! We will update the docs accordingly

from faker.

As mentioned in the docs, if an int is provided it ranges from 0 to 100. So in your case 1/100 chance on the generator.

With a float it works from 0.00 to 1.00

@pimjansen Can you link me to where it says it in the doc please? I can't seem to find it. Maybe I'm not looking at the right place but in https://fakerphp.github.io/#modifiers, I don't see the mention of int and float.

// optional() accepts a weight argument to specify the probability of receiving the default value.
// 0 will always return the default value; 1 will always return the provider. Default weight is 0.5 (50% chance).
$faker->optional($weight = 0.1)->randomDigit(); // 90% chance of NULL
$faker->optional($weight = 0.9)->randomDigit(); // 10% chance of NULL

Hmm its in the internal docblock. Can you confirm the suggestion works?

Ah I see. It works by passing a float.

@pimjansen Sorry! I just tested this again and I think when I tested with the float, I didn't do (float) 1. When I pass a (float) 1, it's always returning the default provider.
