Add faker support for initial development data ? about flask-restplus-server-example HOT 8 OPEN

@frol fakers make sense for fixtures for example. I think we can introduce some kind of invoke task to populate some fake data based on factories, but I'm not sure there is a good place for them in initial development data only. If we have task then it's ok to use that factories in initial data IMO.

@khorolets it's a good idea.

@frol I'm working on it !

Don't think it's a good idea for additional external dependency. Also, one can add Faker or Elizabeth with no problem.

Hi @askz, Thank you for the suggestion! I have no time to implement that myself at the moment, but I would love to see a PR for that!

@khorolets We can always make the dependency optional and just skip if the module is missing. However, I have never worked with fakers (I prefer plain Python where things should be simple), so I am not sure if they give any benefit at all.

@khorolets I see.

@askz Please, let us know if you would like to work on a PR, otherwise, we can close this issue since this adds complexity to the example for no good reason.
