I learned how to open a module in a Node REPL thanks to this StackOverflow post

How to use Faker in a Node.js REPL

  1. npm install --save-dev "@faker-js/faker
    • = install Faker to your repository
    • (I made an empty project folder because idk how to find -g global ones in node)
  2. node --experimental-repl-await
    • = open the Node REPL with the experimental await feature
  3. let { faker } = await import('@faker-js/faker')
    • = import Faker in the Node REPL
  4. faker.animal.dog()
