FakerUpgrading to v7
This is the migration guide for upgrading from v6 to v7.
Node 12 no longer supported
You need at least Node 14 to use Faker.
Default export removed
If you were previously importing faker like this:
js
import faker from '@faker-js/faker';
You must instead use:
js
import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';
