### Typescript Support

Types are available via the `@types/faker` package. You must manually link them using a `*.d.ts` file, like so:

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

## FAQ - What happened to the original faker.js?

This project was originally created and hosted at https://github.com/marak/Faker.js/ - however around 4th Jan, 2022 - the author decided to delete the repository (for unknown reasons).
