Database seeding with latest T3 Stack (/w Drizzle) and Faker

Hello!
I've been now working a project based on latest Theo's

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5x0JCZbAJs)

Project that I'm working requires migration from existing system to new one, after it is ready. And before that I would like to use a lot of seeded data in database, for testing UI/UX and other functionalities.

Issues that I have run into, are that

@faker-js/faker

@faker-js/faker

isn't able to provide proper types for typescript, and what I found from their documentation, for Typescript support

tsconfig.json

tsconfig.json

should have

moduleResolution: "node"

moduleResolution: "node"

, while on T3 stack it's set as

Bundler

Bundler

. moduleResolution goes out of my understanding, and just blindly changing that to node, obviously seems to break rest of application.

The second thing is with initialising Drizzle connection to Vercel Postgres. I've checked tutorial mentioned previously here on https://dev.to/anasrin/seeding-database-with-drizzle-orm-fga
but in my opinion, that feels so much extra hustle (half a dozen extra packages), for just getting db seeding done, while all db-connections are done so elegantly in the stack.

I would imagine that many others are also looking for faked data for their development workflow, could there maybe be demand for great YT tutorial on this?
