[featuretools]'EntitySet' object has no attribute 'entity_from_dataframe'

Question

I tried to learn featuretools following documentation from featuretools.com.

A error came up: AttributeError: 'EntitySet' object has no attribute 'entity_from_dataframe'

Could you help me? Thank you.

Code:

import featuretools as ft

data = ft.demo.load_mock_customer()
transactions_df = data["transactions"].merge(data["sessions"]).merge(data["customers"])
transactions_df.sample(10)
products_df = data["products"]
products_df
es = ft.EntitySet(id="customer_data")
es = es.entity_from_dataframe(entity_id="transactions",
                              dataframe=transactions_df,
                             index="transaction_id",
                              time_index="transaction_time",
                              variable_types={"product_id": ft.variable_types.Categorical,
                                               "zip_code": ft.variable_types.ZIPCode})

The documentation you are using is for an older version of Featuretools. You can find the updated Getting Started documentation that works with Featuretools version 1.0 here: https://featuretools.alteryx.com/en/stable/getting_started/getting_started_index.html
