Hook into & modify 'fakerjs' data generation

[CHE1RON]

Hey there,
I was wondering if there was an easy way to hook into the generation of sample data when using the fakerjs plugin. For example,

a) some objects being created have a color prop which is a string but I would like to manipulate it for all created objects to have a specific hex value.

b) instead of string being a single letter, sometimes it should be names (eg by using faker.person.fullName) to bring the generated data closer to actual user data.

How do you deal with cases like these?

Now, while mapper at least provides a way to use another faker function (as string, eg name: 'faker.person.fullName()') which solves b) above, there's no way to do this for a) since we cannot import data from other files, eg to access an array of available colors - and hardcoding colors is definitely not a viable option!

@CHE1RON Hmm I hear you but this sound like a really complex thing to resolve. Not sure yet how we could make something like this work. Something to think about.
