Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

[chassteel]

I'm using this library in a React project, and I'm receiving the following warning on compile:

./node_modules/authorizenet/node_modules/colors/lib/colors.js
Critical dependency: the request of a dependency is an expression

I've tracked the problem down to the use of winston "^2.2.0" in package.json. That version of winston is using an old version of colors.js which is where the problem exists.

It's been fixed in winston 3 (currently 3.3.3). Please could this library be updated to use winston 3 and avoid the rather distracting compile warning? Many thanks, in advance.
