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:
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/aironside@ant.local/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

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 🙂)
