Ability to access selected locale in custom generator

[Strongground]

Hi! I want to start saying that I hate love your app! However, when writing a custom generator that returns for example a random birthday, and the form expects this data to be in a certain format, at the moment I need to build several custom generators for this (e.g. "Birthday (US)", "Birthday (Germany)" and so on). I would love to be able to access the currently selected locale (from Settings) so I can switch the locale in my custom generator, e.g. randomBday(start, end).toLocaleDateString(fakeData.currentLocale)

Perfect pattern for locale would be ISO 639‑1-ISO 3166‑1, e.g. "en-US" or "de-DE".

Hello,

You can retrieve the global locale setting through faker.locale. By default, this will return "en_US".

Unfortunately, the returned values are not in those ISO formats because of the faker.js library, but you can see below all the values that are available in Fake Data:
