Each of the generator properties (like `name`, `address`, and `lorem`) are called "formatters". A faker generator has many of them, packaged in "providers". Here is a list of the bundled formatters in the default locale.

randomDigit // 7

randomDigitNot(5) // 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, or 9

randomDigitNotNull // 5

randomNumber($nbDigits = NULL, $strict = false) // 79907610

randomFloat($nbMaxDecimals = NULL, $min = 0, $max = NULL) // 48.8932

numberBetween($min = 1000, $max = 9000) // 8567

randomLetter // 'b'

// returns randomly ordered subsequence of a provided array

randomElements($array = ['a', 'b', 'c'], $count = 1) // ['c']

randomElement($array = ['a', 'b', 'c']) // 'b'

shuffle('hello, world') // 'rlo,h eoldlw'

shuffle([1, 2, 3]) // [2, 1, 3]

numerify('Hello ###') // 'Hello 609'

lexify('Hello ???') // 'Hello wgt'

bothify('Hello ##??') // 'Hello 42jz'

asciify('Hello ***') // 'Hello R6+'

regexify('[A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}'); // sm0@y8k96a.ej

words($nb = 3, $asText = false) // ['porro', 'sed', 'magni']

sentence($nbWords = 6, $variableNbWords = true) // 'Sit vitae voluptas sint non voluptates.'

Qui ex esse veritatis.', 'Possimus omnis aut incidunt sunt. Asperiores incidunt iure sequi cum culpa rem. Rerum exercitationem est rem.']

text($maxNbChars = 200) // 'Fuga totam reiciendis qui architecto fugiat nemo. Consequatur recusandae qui cupiditate eos quod.'

timezone // 'Europe/Paris'

Methods accepting a `$timezone` argument default to `date_default_timezone_get()`. You can pass a custom timezone string to each method, or define a custom timezone for all time methods at once using `$faker::setDefaultTimezone($timezone)`.
