Checklist

• replace faker.datatype.number with faker.number.int
• replace faker.name with faker.person
• add faker.setDefaultRefDate at the start of the template

We might want to use the example folder in the ci to test that it works with more cases.

Note @zoubingwu that the merged #29 includes faker.name to faker.person

There are two commits, but I split the changes incorrectly. My apologies.

Hi,

I recently started using this library and noticed that some methods have been deprecated in faker-js version 8.0. In my environment, I received the following warning:

[@faker-js/faker]: faker.datatype.uuid() is deprecated since v8.0 and will be removed in v9.0. Please use faker.string.uuid() instead.

I'm looking forward to the updates. I appreciate all the work you are doing.

Thank you!
