## Faker Internals: Understanding Providers

A `Faker\Generator` alone can't do much generation. It needs `Faker\Provider` objects to delegate the data generation to them. `Faker\Factory::create()` actually creates a `Faker\Generator` bundled with the default providers. Here is what happens under the hood:

namespace Faker\Provider;

class Book extends \Faker\Provider\Base
{
  public function title($nbWords = 5)
  {
    $sentence = $this->generator->sentence($nbWords);
    return substr($sentence, 0, strlen($sentence) - 1);
  }

  public function ISBN()
  {
    return $this->generator->randomNumber(13);
  }
}

$faker->addProvider(new \Faker\Provider\Book($faker));

$book = new Book();
$book->setTitle($faker->title);
$book->setISBN($faker->ISBN);
$book->setSummary($faker->text);
$book->setPrice($faker->randomNumber(2));
