🚀 Feature: Switch from optimist (deprecated) to yargs
We don't need to get into a conversation about whether warnings like this are helpful or not, but they are happening.
My latest one was from pulling in eslint-plugin-package-json, because of this dependency chain:
eslint-plugin-package-json 0.12.0
└─┬ package-json-validator 0.6.3
└─┬ optimist 0.6.1
└── minimist 0.0.10
It looks like package-json-validator would benefit from either moving from optimist (deprecated) to directly using an updated version of minimist or switching to something like yargs.
Oop, sorry for the delay! Agreed. Using deprecated dependencies isn't good.
Per https://www.npmjs.com/package/optimist:
I don't want to maintain this module anymore since I just use minimist, the argument parsing engine, directly instead nowadays.
See yargs for the modern, pirate-themed successor to optimist.
minimist does a good bit less than what this currently uses optimist for. So I'd say let's move to yargs. 👍 accepting PRs!
Great! I get a notification for every comment, issue, and PR in this repo - so any PR that gets sent effectively tags me. I'll look soon!
