2. Generate multiple warnings with a delay

fakeError({ message: "Watch out!", type: "warn", count: 3, delay: 500 });

3. Generate random fake errors

const { randomFakeError } = require("fake-error-generator");

randomFakeError({
  messages: ["Oops!", "Crash!", "404 Not Found!"],

  delay: 300
});

🎨 Message Types

| Type | Console Output | | ------- | -------------- | | log | ✅ Normal log | | warn | ⚠️ Warning | | error | ❌ Error | | info | ℹ️ Info |
