Set lazy by default

This is a feature request.

For people using Faker indeed makes sense to set all attributes “lazy” while setting fixed values only on special cases.

I did have a bad time trying to make it work and ended up using a bunch of factory.LazyFunction(lambda:

Set all calls from random “lazy” would be ok too, but indeed having it as an option makes more sense.

You can also use something like the following for some of your objects (I have made some assumptions and provided some of the issues with those assumptions in comments):

type_id = factory.Faker('random_element', elements=TypeCompany.objects.values_list('id', flat=True))
city = factory.Iterator(City.objects.all())
region_id = factory.SelfAttribute('city.region_id')
bank_id = factory.Faker('random_element', elements=Bank.objects.values_list('id', flat=True))
account = factory.Faker('random_int', min=10000000, max=99999999)
status = factory.Faker('random_element', elements=STATUS_CHOICES.keys()) # Assuming [0] was to grab the key of the selected STATUS_CHOICES element

I thought it was deprecated… I think the current state of the integration with faker is confusing 😦
