{
    "require": {
        "davidbadura/faker-bundle": "1.0.*"
    }
}

and modify your AppKernel

if (in_array($this->getEnvironment(), array('dev', 'test'))) {
    $bundles[] = new DavidBadura\FakerBundle\DavidBaduraFakerBundle();
}

Bundle configuration

# app/config/config.yml
david_badura_faker:
  locale: de_DE #default: en_EN

Add your own Provider

First, you must create your provider

<?php

namespace YourBundle\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);
  }
}

now you can register your provider as a service and add the davidbadura_faker.provider tag.

your_bundle.faker.provider.test:
        class: YourBundle\Faker\Provider\Book
        arguments:
            - @davidbadura_faker.faker
        tags:
            -  { name: davidbadura_faker.provider }

finaly, you can use your new provider

$faker = $container->get('davidbadura_faker.faker');
  // generate data by accessing properties
echo $faker->ISBN;
  // '1463738531452';
