+## Automated refactoring
+
+If you already used this library with its properties, they are now deprecated and needs to be replaced by their corresponding methods.
+
+You can use the provided [Rector](https://github.com/rectorphp/rector) config file to automate the work.
+
+Run
+
+```bash
+$ composer require --dev rector/rector
+```
+
+to install `rector/rector`.
+
+Run
+
+```bash
+vendor/bin/rector process src/ --config vendor/fakerphp/faker/rector-migrate.php
+```
+
+to run `rector/rector`.
+
+*Note:* do not forget to replace "src/" with the path to your source directory.
+
+Another way is to use it in your `rector.php` file:
+
+```php
+    $faker = require 'vendor/fakerphp/faker/rector-migrate.php';
+    $faker($rectorConfig);
+```
