To install a relatively recent version of Faker you'll need to install from a commit. The maintainer is still active and merging new features, but does not cut new releases.

npm install --save-dev faker@Marak/faker.js#<commit-sha>

I.e. npm install --save-dev faker@Marak/faker.js#d3ce6f1 (latest commit at the time of writing).

import { random, finance } from 'faker';

address: finance.ethereumAddress(),
blockNumber: random.number(20000),
transactionHash: random.hexaDecimal(64),
transactionIndex: 0,
blockHash: random.hexaDecimal(64),
logIndex: 0,
