set this in your main config:

return [
'controllerMap' => [
    'fixture' => [
        'class' => 'yii\faker\FixtureController',
        'templatePath' => '@common/tests/templates/fixtures',
        'fixtureDataPath' => '@common/tests/fixtures/data',
    ],
    // ...
],
// ...
];

use it like this:

$faker = Faker\Factory::create();

// generate data by accessing properties
   echo $faker->name;
// 'Lucy Cechtelar';
   echo $faker->address;
 // "426 Jordy Lodge
// Cartwrightshire, SC 88120-6700"
    echo $faker->text;
