Thanks for the video! really useful, i have a question, i am generating countrys whith name and CountryCode ISO 33166. All the 245 that exist, but as it is randomly generated, repeted countrys apear. how can i avoid repeted country names and country codes using The faker (Address.Country and Address.CountryCode) ?

Hi Nick I haven’t watched the video yet but do you know how this compares with Autofixture which I use?

Hey, is there a way to have coherent address like not having an American Lake in the Country Reunion for example?

[brentsteyn]

It would be cool if it could generate the values automatically. Maybe I should write something like that 🤔

What's the comparison between Bogus and GenFu. GenFu pretty much does the same

I wonder if you can use it to fake 2 objects that are related. For example, you have entity & dto class and you want to fake both with same data, then I can test a mapper logic to make sure the return dto has the correct mappings.
