# Migration from faker.js v5 | ||
|
||
There are now two bundles: `cjs` and `esm` | ||
|
||
The browser bundle was dropped in favor of `esm` | ||
|
||
So if you like to use `Faker` in the **browser**, just use: | ||
|
||
```html | ||
<script type="module"> | ||
import { faker } from 'https://unpkg.com/@faker-js/faker'; | ||
console.log(`${faker.name.firstName()} ${faker.name.lastName()}`); | ||
</script> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
A stackblitz playground can be found here: https://stackblitz.com/edit/typescript-damv7h | ||
|
||
:::tip | ||
Faker now provides TypeScript types out of the box. | ||
So you can remove `@types/faker` completely. | ||
::: | ||
|
||
You no longer need to import `faker` as a standard import, but as a tree shakeable instance. | ||
|
||
For JS: | ||
|
||
```js | ||
const { faker } = require('@faker-js/faker'); | ||
|
||
// Or specific locale | ||
const fakerDe = require('@faker-js/faker/locale/de'); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
For TS: | ||
|
||
```ts | ||
import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker'; | ||
|
||
// Or specific locale | ||
import fakerDe from '@faker-js/faker/locale/de'; | ||
``` | ||
|
||
:::tip | ||
If you have many files using these imports, we suggest to use e.g. VSCode's search and replace functionality. | ||
::: | ||
|
||
--- | ||
|
||
:::warning | ||
You need to switch from the package `faker` to `@faker-js/faker`. | ||
We also provided all historical versions under the new organization scope. So if you depend on a specific version you still can use `"@faker-js/faker": "5.5.3"`. | ||
