Update 2023 for v8

Now moved to https://github.com/faker-js/faker, they changed it again:

faker.number.int(options: number | {
  max: number,
  min: number
} = {}): number
faker.number.int() // 2900970162509863
faker.number.int(100) // 52
faker.number.int({ min: 1000000 }) // 2900970162509863
faker.number.int({ max: 100 }) // 42
faker.number.int({ min: 10, max: 100 }) // 57

source: https://fakerjs.dev/api/number.html#int

Update 2021

Latest versions changed location of the function from faker.random.number to faker.datatype.number, https://github.com/Marak/faker.js/issues/1156

Original answer

You need to give an object to the function:

faker.datatype.number({
    'min': 10,
    'max': 50
});

So if you just pass a number, it will set it as the max value. The min value is 0 by default.

This is the implementation of the number function :

this.number = function (options) {

    if (typeof options === "number") {
      options = {
        max: options
      };
    }

    options = options || {};

    if (typeof options.min === "undefined") {
      options.min = 0;
    }

    if (typeof options.max === "undefined") {
      options.max = 99999;
    }
    if (typeof options.precision === "undefined") {
      options.precision = 1;
    }

    // Make the range inclusive of the max value
    var max = options.max;
    if (max >= 0) {
      max += options.precision;
    }

    var randomNumber = options.precision * Math.floor(
      mersenne.rand(max / options.precision, options.min / options.precision));

    return randomNumber;

  }
