Make separate export for simpleFaker about faker HOT 7 OPEN

Great suggestion. Although, with v9, we work on finally getting tree shaking to work. That way, you should get a smaller bundle regardless of the import path you import from.

What about

import { faker } from "@faker-js/faker/locale/base"

(gets it down to about 200KB from 500KB)

I think that is a good workaround between the simpleFaker and fakerEn.

Thank you for your feature proposal.

We marked it as "waiting for user interest" for now to gather some feedback from our community:

• If you would like to see this feature be implemented, please react to the description with an up-vote (:+1:).
• If you have a suggestion or want to point out some special cases that need to be considered, please leave a comment, so we are aware about them.

We would also like to hear about other community members' use cases for the feature to give us a better understanding of their potential implicit or explicit requirements.

We will start the implementation based on:

• the number of votes (:+1:) and comments
• the relevance for the ecosystem
• availability of alternatives and workarounds
• and the complexity of the requested feature

We do this because:

• There are plenty of languages/countries out there and we would like to ensure that every method can cover all or almost all of them.
• Every feature we add to faker has "costs" associated to it:
  • initial costs: design, implementation, reviews, documentation
  • running costs: awareness of the feature itself, more complex module structure, increased bundle size, more work during refactors

I think the usage page would be more fitting. The localization page alredy lists "base", but doesn't give any explaination what that exactly means.

I think we could give it a try.
