Cannot find module 'faker' or its corresponding type declarations.(2307)

Question

I was trying to use 'faker' with TypeScript in TestCafe Studio. But I'm getting an error saying Cannot find module 'faker' or its corresponding type declarations.(2307)

import * as faker from 'faker';

This is what I have tried in TestCafe.

Answer 1

The faker package has been discontinued.

To resolve this, try doing the following:

npm install @faker-js/faker --save-dev
# or yarn 
yarn add @faker-js/faker -D

You can override the import to:

import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';

I'll mark your answer as correct for the use of any other person. Thank you again – Subminiature
