Question: How faker parse and find data/list for format like {{ last_name }} - {{ first-name }} ?

[gunungpw]

Hello new to faker codebase, i have question how faker parse the format tokenName and how its gets the reference for the data of that token name, I want to make company name with locale Indonesia (id_ID) with Indonesian name company or Indonesian last_name,
But I am new to programming and not understand how the codebase work,
do i need to make last_names data/list in id_ID locale for faker.person __init__.py and faker will automatically chose the last_name with Indonesia locale or i need do something else?
Thank you

when i search last_name data/list/tuple/dict i just find last_names (with "s" plural), I cannot find last_name data

Where did you read about the placeholders? What is your current code?

How to track down {{ last_name }}?
And how to use last_name that uses id_ID locale data?

class Provider(CompanyProvider):
    formats = (
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}}",
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}} {{last_name}}",
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}} {{company_suffix}}",
        "{{company_prefix}} {{last_name}} {{last_name}} {{company_suffix}}",
    )

Thankyou

The logic is handled in

faker/faker/generator.py

Line 161 in faa419b

def parse(self, text: str) -> str:

The corresponding values are retrieved from the corresponding providers - the company_suffix from the company provider, the last_name from the person provider. The last name should already use the localized values as far as I understand the code.
