With the release of version 8.0, Faker.js introduced a significant change in their API. Methods now accept a single options object as a parameter, rather than multiple individual arguments.
This modification allows for greater flexibility and readability. Here's how you can adapt your code to this new approach:
import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';
// Instead of faker.date.past(1), use:
const pastDate = faker.date.past({ years: 1 });
// Instead of faker.date.future(2), use:
const futureDate = faker.date.future({ years: 2 });
// Instead of faker.date.between('2001-02-02', '2002-02-02'), use:
const betweenDate = faker.date.between({ from: '2001-02-02', to: '2002-02-02' });
// Instead of faker.recent(7), use:
const recentDate = faker.recent({ days: 7 });
By replacing individual parameters with an options object, you can take full advantage of Faker's updated API and create more readable and maintainable code.
