How to use faker.js in typescript?

As in topic. I cannot handle it :/ I've installed npm i faker and also npm i @types/faker --save-dev

my IDE found fakerStatic.name.findName() but browser not recognizes fakerStatic.

import 'faker'; does not help.

The documentation now says:

import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker'

If it is to be localized data, the desired locale can also be attached.

import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker/locale/de'

You have to import it like:

import * as faker from 'faker';

And use it like:

faker.name.findName()
