This is a great plugin! I'd love to be able to customize the options that are shown in the override menu.

• Create a "settings" section in the Sketch Data Faker plugin menu
• Add an option to set the default locale

Where is the source of the data?

Thanks

Hello-

I just downloaded and installed this plugin and I am experiencing the same issue as #1 on the latest version. I rolled back to 0.1.9 and I was able to use the naming feature successfully, but upgrading to the latest breaks it again.

Screenshot of error:

In my file, 'list' is an instance of a symbol which has two Faker named layers.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create symbol with text
2. rename text layer name.jobTitle
3. Select layer and Run Data Faker plugin Auto layer name
4. on the artboard, try to refresh data on the symbol
5. Error modal pops up

It would be nice the have an option to override text into symbols.

My use case is:
I have a big table where I'd love to place fake looks real data. Every row is a collection of symbols (or a symbol with nested symbols).

The idea is to use the text content of the cell as a placeholder for the plugin:

1. The symbol cell text is something like: internet.email (note: Not the name of the symbol of layer, but the actual text into it)
2. Run the plugin over the selected symbols
3. The plugin recursively place rando fake data into the cells managing to overyde the original text (internet.email) into the actual loaded data.

I hope it makes sense for you :)

Thank you for this great plugin, really saves a lot of time for me. I'd like to suggest adding different language support. As far as I know, Faker.js has data for different localizations.

Would it be possible to add them to your plugin as well?

Add the ability to return different types of data that match the other types of data.

For example:

• If you return a book, movie, song, album, artist, etc, all data about that thing should match (the author, the title and the image for the book should all match).
• If you have a first name, a last name, and an email address in the same group/symbol, perhaps we should try to get the email address to match the first name / last name

This could be done in 3 ways:

1. In a layer or group, data should always match if it's possible
2. Only do it for layers that are all selected by the user at the same time when asked to be replaced
3. If the user calls their layer a certain thing... like commerce.product.name and commerce.product.author instead of commerce.productName and commerce.productAuthor

Great work on this plugin, something like this has been missing for a long time. It'd be great if the data would be formatted according to the locale as well. ie. a phone number follows the US format (555) 012 3123 vs. +31 1 23 45 67 8 and $ 2,399.40 vs € 1.323,30.

I'm not too familiar with faker.js but I suspect we need to add another tool like http://numeraljs.com/ to format the faker data.

If I find some time next week, I'll look into this.

Slightly related: saving a default locale as a setting would be handy too.

Currently we have a very limited set of 7 options + 'Auto', but that would be great if all Faker options were listed, so we don't have to type them manually, but rather select existing ones and that makes usage of sketch-data-faker less error-prone and doesn't force us to read documentation.

Add ability to support images, not just text

thanks for handy little plugin!

for your interest: i forked this and added an option to specify the count, or number of, words, sentences, and paragraphs when using the plural lorem content.

example name:
lorem.paragraphs #13#
this also works:
lorem.paragraphs #13# copy 2

the parameter format may be thought to be a tad awkward, but i didn't see a more elegant option that wouldn't conflict with other parsing.

I would really like to be able to build more complex random data strings. For example, I'm building sports data grid and have run into a few uses case I'd like to use this plugin for:

• Creating Team Names: aker.address.city() + " " + random.word()
• Creating Sample Scores: faker.random.number(7) + " - " + faker.random.number(7)
• Creating Better Dates: faker.random.number(12) + "/" + faker.random.number(30) + "/2021"

Obviously, this changes the scope of the current plugin by adding simple JS phasing. Still, I would love to be able to build more complex phasing using layer names.

To reproduce, add any library symbol with a text override to a new document and try to apply faker data to it.

Tested this in Sketch 54.
