Support something like chancejs for dynamic data generation

In our unit and integration tests, we use http://chancejs.com a lot, for reasons of variation testing, data realism, and general amusement.

I’d like to see the same sort of support in Artillery so that we can do something like

"scenarios": [
    {
      "flow": [
        {
          "loop": [
            {"post": {
               "url": "/create-user",
               "json": {
                  "email": "{{ chance.email() }}",
                  "password": "{{ chance.string(length: 10) }}"
               }
            }}
          ],
          "count": 100
        }
      ]
    }
  ]

The format of the chance inserts is undetermined, can’t immediately think of a nice way to do it.

Right now I’m using mockaroo (some website I found which generates CSVs with chance-like data) to generate CSVs, but it’s a pay-for product and it’s still very static.

Thoughts?

The ability to integrate third-party generators like the one mentioned above or faker.js to create dynamic variable values would be a must. When we want to test thousands of users registrations is a pain to create the CSV.
