Version 7.3.0: faker.name.fullName is not a function

[jonathanlinat]

Describe the bug

When I try to use faker.name.fullName(), my app crashes because that particular function doesn't exist.

Reproduction

• Install @faker-js/faker version 7.3.0 using the command npm install -D @faker-js/[email protected]
• Import the library: const { faker } = require('@faker-js/faker')
• Make use of faker.name.fullName() function

Additional Info

The function is not present in the compiled bundle somehow..?

The documentation has a reference to that particular function: https://fakerjs.dev/api/name.html#fullName

The source code also has a reference to it: https://github.com/faker-js/faker/blob/main/src/modules/name/index.ts#L184

I'm very sure this feature is not released yet. faker.name.findName() was renamed to faker.name.fullName in #1127 on the 19th of this month. But faker v7.3.0 was released on the 18th. So I'm there sure this feature didn't make it, but will be released in v7.4.

For now you can still use faker.name.findName(), should be the same implementation.

Perfect. Thanks.

May I ask: How did you get to know of fullName()? Was your IDE suggesting it via autocomplete?

[jonathanlinat]

Sure. The current documentation references that specific function. There seems to be a discrepancy between the generated version of the library and its documentation.

Is possible that the problem is located in the CI pipeline?

[xDivisionByZerox]

The current documentation references that specific function.

Oh wow. Thank you, I will discuss this with the maintainers/members to pinpoint the problem.

[jonathanlinat]

You're welcome. 👍🏻

I will close this due to the circumstances. If you (or any other person) are against that, feel free to reopen.

Ran into the same issue. faker.company.name is another example
