All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`T`	`generate(Class<?> clazz, Field field, Limiter limiter, PojoBuilderConfiguration pojoBuilderConfiguration)`	Generates an instance of this class with random test data

- Method Detail
  - generate
```
T generate(Class<?> clazz,
           Field field,
           Limiter limiter,
           PojoBuilderConfiguration pojoBuilderConfiguration)
```
    Generates an instance of this class with random test data
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - class to create
    
    field - used to determine generic type (i.e. collections)
    
    limiter - used to limit the randomness of the data
    
    pojoBuilderConfiguration - The pojo builder configuration used to create objects in case the generator needs to create an object, it can come with user provided generators, providers, etc.
    
    Returns:
  - supportsType
```
boolean supportsType(Class<?> clazz)
```
    Returns true if this Generator can generate an instance of this class.
    
    Parameters:
    
    clazz - class instance to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if it can create an instance of that class.
