Project Status - Is this maintained?

Open strazto opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hi, I'm checking in to see whether this project is still maintained, and if its abandoned, whether there are any alternatives.

Template tag literals are really really nice, and I'd like a mature package for sql ones, but this one hasn't been updated in 2 years, and there's a bunch of dependabot PRs left open.

What's the status?

The package has no dependencies, so whether there are open dependabot PRs shouldn't matter as those are all devDependencies. Is there anything concrete that is not working? Afaik it works fine for what it does, not being updated in 2 years can be a good thing and just mean that it works fine as it is and doesn't need dependency upgrades because it has no dependencies. I don't currently intend to make any more changes to this package.

Thank you for the response. I understand, and I understand what you mean about dependabot. I think a package maturing enough to not need much work can be a good thing, but usually got activity is the best indicator of a project's health, so I get nervous adopting infrastructure that might be at the end of its lifecycle.

I'll consider using this package, in that case

I'll chime in with two cents. I have been using this lib with Postgres for about 6 years, and it's great. When I check in here and see that there are no new versions I'm happy. It's great with small libraries that has one clearly defined task and performs this well. No need to update stuff that just works.

The library itself is pretty much feature complete as much as it's possible, short of needing to support another database API interface. That said, it does appear to be abandoned/unmaintained at least in so far as there are long open issues and pull requests, which should really be groomed, and mostly closed out.
