I am trying to use fakerjs in my cypress tests to randomly generate fake data for my forms. I have tried exporting it in support/index.js which did not work.

Is there any standard way to add fakerjs to all cypress specs instead of adding it in every spec file?

First off, what's wrong with importing it in every spec?

That being said, you can do this:

cypress/support/index.js:

cy.faker = require('faker');

your specs:

it(`test`, () => {
    const words = cy.faker.lorem.words();
});

For reference javascript :-

You can use these in cypress :-
npm i faker

const faker = require("faker"); 

let username = faker.name.findName()
let email = faker.internet.email()
let password = faker.internet.password()

Use all these in single specs file.

I tried it and found very simple. Steps are mentioned below,

1- require faker

const faker = require("faker");

2- User where you want like this

   Variable declaration -> var firstName = faker.Name.findName();
   Use in locator -> cy.get("#firstName").type(firstName);

I hope it would help :)
