How to use custom phone.number format with faker functionality?

[keinsell]

I tried refer to https://github.com/stepci/liquidless-faker but there is barely any documentation.

I digged through the code a few days ago to find out how you can pass parameters to the faker filter.

You can find the available faker filters here: https://fakerjs.dev/api/

For phone numbers you can pass a string as format parameter (Reference):
${{ phone.number | fake: "!##-!##-####" }}

If you have to pass an object as parameter, make sure the parameter value is JSON. This means that all parameter names have to be wrapped in double quotes, e.g.:
${{ internet.email | fake: { "provider": "@example.com" } }}

@mishushakov If you want, I can create a pull request to update the docs of liquidless-faker.

I still seem to experience issues with such when I try to provide string parameters.

version: "1.1"
name: Phone Number
tests:
  example:
    steps:
            - name: TEST
              http:
                url: https://httpbin.org/anything
                method: POST
                json:
                    phone_number: ${{ phone.phoneNumber | fake: "+48#########" }}
                captures:
                  phone_number:
                    jsonpath: $.phone_number
                  customer_phone_number:
                    jsonpath: $.phone_number

On StepCI Playground (landing page) I get error: e.charAt is not a function

Going with provided example of yours (${{ phone.number | fake: "!##-!##-####" }}) finishes in following error on playground.
