Access language code from Faker instance

[matthewmayer]

Am i missing something, is there a way to access the current language code from a prebuilt faker instance?

I was trying to print out a list of all locales and the value of a certain method like street address e.g.

af_ZA 012 Bernadette Bridge
ar 702 ساحة الصغير
az küçəsi Yaşar Əliyev, 090
cz Nad Pískovnou 017

i tried

const {allFakers} = require("@faker-js/faker")
Object.values(allFakers).map(f=>f.location.streetAddress())

gets me the street addresses, but not the codes. The locale property of each faker throws an error.

i ended up with

Object.entries(allFakers).map(entry=>{let [key,faker]=entry;return(key+" "+faker.location.streetAddress())})

which is a bit ugly. is there a nicer way to access the property on the Faker instance itself?

Similarly i'd expect something like

let localFaker = fakerEN.helpers.arrayElement([fakerDE,fakerEN])
let name = localFaker.person.name()
console.log("name is "+name+" and their language is "+localFaker.localeCode)

In v7 via faker.locale
In the next version you can use allFakers.<locale>.person.firstName()
We plan to move definitions.title to definitions.metadata.title and add more data there.
I cannot find the Issue or comment right now.
