'lorem.words' missing for zh_CN about faker HOT 5 OPEN

What I expected was to get pure Chinese words. Adding 'en' to the locale indeed solves the error, because Faker automatically generates paragraphs in all English words.

new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, {lorem: en.lorem}]});  // All English words
// or
new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, en]}); // All English words
// or
new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, {lorem: {words: zh_CN.word.noun }}]});  // The locale data for 'lorem.words' are missing in this locale

from faker.

What do you expect for lorem data in zh_CN?
Chinese words or latin words?

Ref:

• #2884

Workaround:

new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, {lorem: en.lorem}]});
// or
new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, en]});
// or
new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, {lorem: {words: zh_CN.word.noun }}]});

from faker.

Sorry I didn't notice that zh_CN doesn't have nouns.

new Faker({ locale: [zh_CN, { lorem: { words: zh_CN.word.verb } }] }); // 写 驾驶 拎 拧 捡 舞. 抚 跳 拿 托 挡 坐 吮 抬 擦 搔. 擦 抛 披.

Is this what you expect?

FFR: en lorem = Latin

Chinese doesn't normally put spaces in between words. My feeling is that "Chinese" lorem equivalent would be a long string of real Chinese characters but with nonsense meanings, not necessarily real words.

Thank you @ST-DDT, your solution indeed solves my problem. It outputs continuous Chinese paragraphs, but they are interspersed with spaces which I need to handle myself. The reason I raised this issue is that I didn't find a similar solution in the demos on the documentation. I hope that in the future, the faker team can include such cases in the documentation or provide better support for Chinese, just like in the demos.

const customFaker = new Faker({
local: [zh_CN]
})
customFaker.lorem.paragraphs({ min: 2, max: 5 }, '\n')
