Update Faker::Twitter: rename to Faker::X and update deprecated attributes #3131
Description
Although we cannot keep track of all the external APIs changes, we do have the opportunity to update Faker::Twitter after its rename:
- deprecate
Faker::Twitterin favour ofFaker::X - update
userto follow the API's updates. Some fields have been deprecated (see https://docs.x.com/x-api/enterprise-gnip-2.0/fundamentals/data-dictionary#no-longer-supported-deprecated-attributes) - include a note in the docs
- when it's releases, include a note in the CHANGELOG about the breaking changes:
This way, users of the current version can continue using Faker::Twitter, while being notified of the upcoming changes in the next version. When they are ready to update their faker version, they can use Faker::X with the updated attributes.
