The purpose of this library is to simplify date manipulation tasks by providing two key utilities:

Random Date Generation: Create a random date between two given dates, which can be useful for generating test data or simulating events within a specific timeframe.

Date Formatting: Convert a Date object into a readable string format (YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm), making it easier to display dates in a consistent and user-friendly manner.

Hi @AugustoRickes,

Have you seen the k6 docs around using Node.js modules? I'd say that, at first glance, this looks like an expected error.
Could you double-check that, and confirm it, please?

If you're looking for a fake data generator, you can take a look at the xk6-faker extension.
Or try to package the randomdatek6 package in a way that works in k6, following the suggestions in the aforementioned docs.

Thanks! 🙇🏻
