Installation
------------

[](#installation)

To install as a dev dependency run:

```
composer require pelmered/fake-car --dev
```

Remove the `--dev` flag if you need it in production.

Upgrade to 2.x from 1.x
-----------------------

[](#upgrade-to-2x-from-1x)

### Breaking changes:

[](#breaking-changes)

1. Now requires PHP 8.1+ (previously 7.3+)
2. The provider name has changed from `Fakecar` to `FakeCar`. This will cause problems if you are on a case-sensitive filesystem, but it is strongly recommended to change this even if you are not.
3. The methods `transliterate` and `checkDigit` on the `FakeCar` provider class are now no longer publicly available (Visibility changed to private).
4. The public methods `getRandomElementsFromArray` and `getWeighted` on the `FakeCar` provider class has been moved to a helper class. Access them like this: `\Faker\Provider\FakeCarHelper::getWeighted()`
5. The constants `EBCDIC` and `MODELYEAR` are no longer public.

3, 4 and 5 are changes limited to undocumented features of the public API, and should therefore not impact the typical use cases of this package.
