A Faker-powered fixture generator for Javascript

# `fake(value)`

You can do this by using the `fake()` method that comes with [Faker.js](https://github.com/marak/Faker.js/#fakerfake). Note, you'd still need to use `faker` supplied by Helix for consistent results.

### Arguments

| Argument | Type     | Description                                         |
| -------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| `value`  | `string` | Values to compute, indicated by `{{curly braces}}`. |

### Returns

`string`: Returns a string with computed values.

### Example

Simply pass a string into `faker.fake()`, and add the faker methods with `{{curly braces}}`.
Just a heads up, don't add `faker.` in front of the computed methods, and don't instantiate them.

```js
import { createSpec, faker } from "@helpscout/helix";

const Dinosaur = createSpec({
  id: faker.datatype.number(),
  fullName: faker.fake("{{name.firstName}} {{name.lastName}}"),
});

Dinosaur.generate();
// {
//   id: 324191,
//   fullName: 'Sauna Marks'
// }
```
