Description

This PR replaces the old faker library with the new community-driven @faker-js/faker library. The original faker library, once a popular choice for generating fake data, became unmaintained in January 2022. In response, the community came together to create @faker-js/faker, ensuring continued support and improvements. You can read more about this on our website.

For transparency, I want to mention that I'm one of the maintainers of the new library.

We are actively seeking projects that still use the old library. By migrating these projects, we aim to prevent developers from inadvertently using outdated libraries when searching for code examples.

Additional Information

It seems that you are not ignoring the node_modules directory from the git version control. This leads to a massive git diff/a lot of changed files in GitHub. You might want to think to add the directory to a .gitignore file.
