Ques: Random money amount about kotlin-faker HOT 6 CLOSED

Take a look at RandomService class. Initially I didn't think it would be useful to have it public since mostly what it does is wrapping around java.util.Random. But I don't see any reason not to expose it from Faker class, for example, if it can be useful.

You could do something like:

val intAmount = faker.randomService.nextInt(1, 100) // returns a random int from 1 to 100
val moneyAmount = "$$intAmount"

Different monetary signs like $, €, ¥, et al., can be supported through a separate function if that's of any interest as well.

Hi.
Can you give an example of what function you are calling and what output you expect?

from kotlin-faker.

Some function that can help creating random amount.

So is something like this possible?

faker.amount(Locale.US) - $123,312,123

Thanks for this but i think I will have to end up using a currency formatter that formats the value correctly because in the end the result should look something like this $125,212,212.04

A random number with a floating point can also be generated by RandomService class.
But from what I understood, you also need a "thousands separator" (in your example it's a , but I think it should be configurable as well) ?
In that case a new function can be added (probably to Finance provider, unless I find a better place for it), that puts all of this together.

@kdani41 FYI.

For now only $ currency sign is supported irrespective of selected locale. This can be further enhanced to support locale-based currency signs, which only requires changes to the localized yml dict files. Feel free to make a PR or open another issue for that.
