Update all dependencies
Closed this issue · 9 comments
We do have dependabot configured on this repo, as of #5. However, many packages are probably due for a major version upgrade. Let's do as many of those as possible.
Especially important is the @stellar/stellar-sdk dependency (which we should move to, instead of the currently used stellar-sdk package). At the moment, the current version is v12.3.0
Edit: Dependabot has create #11, but it may result in some breaking changes that need some human intervention
Another Edit: We should also migrate to node v20 while we're at it. The update-protocol-20 branch has some work started to this end, though I'm sure it's incomplete atm.
Hi @ElliotFriend I would love to work on this. Can I be assigned?

Hi! My name is Luis Sanchez, and I’m a Frontend Developer with 3 years of experience, specializing in TypeScript and React. I'm gonna be glad to contribute
How I plan on tackling this issue
well, First, I’ll review the current state of the dependencies, particularly focusing on the @stellar/stellar-sdk and the node v20 migration. I’ll start by updating the @stellar/stellar-sdk package, replacing the older stellar-sdk version. I will address any breaking changes by reviewing the changelog and updating the affected code accordingly. After that, I’ll proceed with the Node v20 migration, Finally, I’ll document the changes and update any relevant documentation.

Hi. My name is Joy and I am a web3 developer and contributor.
How I plan on tackling this issue
I plan to update all dependencies, including the Stellar SDK and Node, to their latest versions. My plan is to carefully go through the existing dependencies, ensure compatibility with the latest versions, and test the changes thoroughly to avoid breaking existing functions.

Hello @ElliotFriend,
I'm a software engineer from Costa Rica with over 1 year of experience and a member of Dojo Coding. I have worked with backend technologies such as Node.js, PhP, Java, C#, Cairo. I'd love the opportunity to help with this issue and contribute to your project.
How I plan on tackling this issue
As I'm new to the project, my first step will be to thoroughly understand the codebase and get the necessary context. This will involve familiarizing myself with the architecture, dependencies, and existing documentation, allowing me to make informed decisions moving forward.
For this issue I will:
1. Start to identify all dependencies that need to update
2. Look for the stable and most recent version and update
3. Generate any documentation if it is needed
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Best regards.

My background and how it can be leveraged
I have experience in JavaScript and package management, with a strong focus on upgrading dependencies and ensuring compatibility. I’ve worked on similar projects where I migrated packages and handled breaking changes, which will help me effectively manage the upgrade from stellar-sdk to @stellar/stellar-sdk and transition to Node v20.
How I plan on tackling this issue
I would start by reviewing the Dependabot PR (#11) for potential breaking changes, then upgrade the packages incrementally, focusing on transitioning from stellar-sdk to @stellar/stellar-sdk. I’d also migrate the project to Node v20, addressing any issues that arise during testing to ensure compatibility. Finally, I’d document the changes for future reference.
