✨ Faker.js pass function arguments

[fuzulus]

The concrete problem for me appeared on the phoneNumber Faker.js function where it is possible to pass the phoneFormat as an argument but it is not possible via the JSON file in which I write my mocked API configuration.

It would be nice to be able to pass function arguments. I looked into the current parser implementation, it seems plausible to update it with a feature such as this one.

I believe it would require an additional split/check on the fakerMethod once the first split(':') is done. :)

E.g.
[#faker:phone:phoneNumber('+385#######')]

Hey @fuzulus 👋 Thanks for opening an issue.

Yes it shouldn't be a huge problem to add this feature. Like you already find out we can just extend the logic of the areFakerVarsSyntaxValidInContent function to extract the parameters and give them back in the FakerSyntaxData object.

But I guess we will need then to use a try catch block to be sure that the syntax with the parameters is valid 🤔

I saw you already created a fork of Restapify do you want to take care of the implementation?

Hey @johannchopin, yeah if it's not too urgent for you to get this one out I can take care of the implementation over the weekend and make a PR for review. 😄

Hey @fuzulus 👋 Do you need some extra help for this one? 😉 If you like to work in TDD I could provide you the tests for it 🚀
