modernize module (move to ts and change deprecated deps)

[thatkookooguy]

some things to do with this project to modernize it:

• convert to typescript to benefit from intellisense and autocomplete in IDEs
• replace request library with axios since request is depracated

I can open a PR to do the following changes, but since it's a big change, I want to check with the author that this is something that he wants to change. If you guys do want this, I'll open a PR to fix both issues

I also agree with the need for that work. :) Thank you~!
