I am learning nativescript. I am trying to use faker to create some data with typescript.

Node version - 6.9.4
Faker - 3.1.0
typescript - 2.1.4

I got this error and haven't been able to run the app.

I have tested the library with a new NativeScript project and it works as expected. Here is what I have done, step by step:

npm i Faker --save

And afterwards:

var faker = require('Faker'); 
var randomName = faker.Name.findName();

export function navigatingTo(args: EventData) {
    console.log("randomName: " + randomName); // returns random name like Carmela Weimann
}
