swift(length: Optional[int] = None, primary: bool = False, use_dataset: bool = False) → str

Generate a SWIFT code.

SWIFT codes, reading from left to right, are composed of a 4 alphabet character bank code, a 2 alphabet character country code, a 2 alphanumeric location code, and an optional 3 alphanumeric branch code. This means SWIFT codes can only have 8 or 11 characters, so the value of length can only be None or the integers 8 or 11. If the value is None, then a value of 8 or 11 will randomly be assigned.

Because all 8-digit SWIFT codes already refer to the primary branch or office, the primary argument only has an effect if the value of length is 11. If primary is True and length is 11, the 11-digit SWIFT codes generated will always end in 'XXX' to denote that they belong to primary branches/offices.

For extra authenticity, localized providers may opt to include SWIFT bank codes, location codes, and branch codes used in their respective locales. If use_dataset is True, this method will generate SWIFT codes based on those locale-specific codes if included. If those codes were not included, then it will behave as if use_dataset were False, and in that mode, all those codes will just be randomly generated as per the specification.

swift11(primary: bool = False, use_dataset: bool = False) → str

Generate an 11-digit SWIFT code.

This method uses swift() under the hood with the length argument set to 11. If primary is set to True, the SWIFT code will always end with 'XXX'. All 11-digit SWIFT codes use this convention to refer to the primary branch/office.

>>> for _ in range(5):
...     fake.swift11()

swift8(use_dataset: bool = False) → str

paragraph(nb_sentences: int = 3, variable_nb_sentences: bool = True, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → str

Generate a paragraph.

The nb_sentences argument controls how many sentences the paragraph will contain, and setting variable_nb_sentences to False will generate the exact amount, while setting it to True (default) will generate a random amount (+/-40%, minimum of 1) using randomize_nb_elements().

Under the hood, sentences() is used to generate the sentences, so the argument ext_word_list works in the same way here as it would in that method.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)
>>> for _ in range(5):
...     fake.paragraph(nb_sentences=5)
...

paragraphs(nb: int = 3, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → List[str]

Generate a list of paragraphs.

This method uses paragraph() under the hood to generate paragraphs, and the nb argument controls exactly how many sentences the list will contain. The ext_word_list argument works in exactly the same way as well.

sentence(nb_words: int = 6, variable_nb_words: bool = True, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → str

Generate a sentence.

The nb_words argument controls how many words the sentence will contain, and setting variable_nb_words to False will generate the exact amount, while setting it to True (default) will generate a random amount (+/-40%, minimum of 1) using randomize_nb_elements().

Under the hood, words() is used to generate the words, so the argument ext_word_list works in the same way here as it would in that method.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)

'Suiker lamp gewicht mond koud thuis help markt op vroeger.'
'Dag dag boek tweede zoon net sinds pad deel boon bevatten vers.'

sentences(nb: int = 3, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → List[str]

Generate a list of sentences.

This method uses sentence() under the hood to generate sentences, and the nb argument controls exactly how many sentences the list will contain. The ext_word_list argument works in exactly the same way as well.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)

text(max_nb_chars: int = 200, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → str

Generate a text string.

The max_nb_chars argument controls the approximate number of characters the text string will have, and depending on its value, this method may use either words(), sentences(), or paragraphs() for text generation. The ext_word_list argument works in exactly the same way it would in any of those methods.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)
>>> for _ in range(5):
...     fake.text(max_nb_chars=20)
...
'Vet kom tennis vuur.'
'Bal glas zorg nacht.'

texts(nb_texts: int = 3, max_nb_chars: int = 200, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → List[str]

Generate a list of text strings.

The nb_texts argument controls how many text strings the list will contain, and this method uses text() under the hood for text generation, so the two remaining arguments, max_nb_chars and ext_word_list will work in exactly the same way as well.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)

word(part_of_speech: Optional[str] = None, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None) → str

Generate a word.

This method uses words() under the hood with the nb argument set to 1 to generate the result.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)
>>> for _ in range(5):
...     fake.word()
...
'vet'
'kom'
'tennis'
'vuur'
'leger'

>>> Faker.seed(0)
>>> for _ in range(5):
...     fake.word(ext_word_list=['abc', 'def', 'ghi', 'jkl'])
...
'jkl'
'jkl'
'abc'
'ghi'
'jkl'

words(nb: int = 3, part_of_speech: Optional[str] = None, ext_word_list: Optional[Sequence[str]] = None, unique: bool = False) → List[str]

Generate a tuple of words.

The nb argument controls the number of words in the resulting list, and if ext_word_list is provided, words from that list will be used instead of those from the locale provider’s built-in word list.

If unique is True, this method will return a list containing unique words. Under the hood, random_sample() will be used for sampling without replacement. If unique is False, random_choices() is used instead, and the list returned may contain duplicates.

part_of_speech is a parameter that defines to what part of speech the returned word belongs. If ext_word_list is not None, then part_of_speech is ignored. If the value of part_of_speech does not correspond to an existent part of speech according to the set locale, then an exception is raised.

Warning

Depending on the length of a locale provider’s built-in word list or on the length of ext_word_list if provided, a large nb can exhaust said lists if unique is True, raising an exception.

Examples:

>>> Faker.seed(0)
>>> for _ in range(5):
