Adding a randomString of given length.

In some cases, it might be interesting to test methods/forms/screens with an oversized string.

Why don't you use the text provider?

In my use case, I needed a string without spaces. The text method returns a string with spaces.

Then you should update the text() provider with an option.

This would be useful to generate passwords and such, I'm currently using word but it's not ideal.

for passwords, see #402.

This can be achieved using a simple lexify with an str_repeat (see the example at

Faker/src/Faker/Provider/Internet.php

Line 103 in 611cd11

$pattern = str_repeat('*', $this->numberBetween($minLength, $maxLength));

).
