Support hypothesis

There’s a faker plugin to support hypothesis. Sometimes I really need to generate some real-world values from hypothesis for some fields. For example, there’s a trouble with generating URLs for now.

So, we need to create a new library to integrate mimesis and hypothesis together, so I can use mimesis and not faker for these cases.

That’s how it is currently implemented: https://github.com/HypothesisWorks/hypothesis/blob/01864efb809b1d4e9093bcc3a498ac4b30921047/hypothesis-python/src/hypothesis/extra/fakefactory.py

I have to mention that it is not considered a best practice, but it exists.

This issue should be closed after such package is publicly released.

I built a simple wrapper that seems to work:

def build_mimesis_strategy(mimesis_provider_class, method_name, *args, **kwargs):
    """
    Get an attribute from a mimesis provider by seeding with a hypothesis-chosen integer.
    """
    provider = mimesis_provider_class()

    def get_value(seed):
        provider.reseed(seed)
        return getattr(provider, method_name)(*args, **kwargs)

    return st.integers().map(get_value)

Then you can do the following:

>>> build_mimesis_strategy = st.build_mimesis_strategy
>>> states = build_mimesis_strategy(mimesis.Address, 'state', abbr=True)
>>> states.example()
'PA'
>>> states.example()
'TN'
>>> states.example()
'WV'
