Unable to set up the new Faker library – Telegram API

I am trying to set up the new @faker-js/faker library. So far, I did this:

npm i @faker-js/faker -D

Added faker.d.ts at the top level. So the tree is like this:

enter image description here

faker.d.ts contents is this:

// faker.d.ts
declare module '@faker-js/faker' {
  import faker from 'faker';
  export default faker;
}

I am trying to use the mock like this:

import faker from 'faker';

import { ParameterMessage } from 'packages/ts/container/Parameter';

export const Parameter: ParameterMessage = { id: faker.dataType.uuid };

But am keep getting an error, saying

Cannot find module ‘faker’ or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)

Unable to resolve path to module ‘faker’.

I am also getting this in faker.d.ts

File ‘/home/[email protected]/Documents/microfrontends/telegram-manager/src/faker.d.ts’ is not a module.

When hovering over ‘faker’ in import faker from 'faker';

What am I missing?

Here is a reproduced sandbox

    Try to install the corresponding type declarations by running the command npm i @types/faker

    What worked for me so far is to have a faker.d.ts file in the root (where package.json is). The single entry in that file is declare module "@faker-js/faker";

    Please check this example https://codesandbox.io/s/modest-dream-5cyq7?file=/src/App.tsx, the problem with the old faker types are that some type is missing, like the animal function.

    If its possible for you please use the new released v6 of the fakerjs

    I created a sample project: https://stackblitz.com/edit/faker-js-demo-b16k2u?file=index.ts
    I may link it into our README.md if needed (I’m one of the maintainers of @faker-js/faker 🙂)
