faker-es6 supports any ISO valid locale.
To use a locale, just pass it as a parameter in the method you want to use.
Since this is lib is a WIP, at the time of development it only supports:
- en πΊπΈ
- ja π―π΅ (partial support for now)
- pt_BR π§π·
`ts
import { firstName } from 'faker-es6/lib/name/firstName';
import { Locale } from 'faker-es6/lib/types/locale';
const name = firstName(Locale.PT_BR); // Random first name in pt_BR: Bruna
const anotherName = firstName(Locale.PT_BR); // Random first name in pt_BR: Paula
`
> Locale is an TS enum object with all valid ISO language codes
`ts
import { firstName } from 'faker-es6/lib/name/firstName';
const name = firstName('pt_BR'); // Random first name in pt_BR: Bruna
const anotherName = firstName('pt_BR'); // Random first name in pt_BR: Paula
