docs: add Web3.js sunset warning to JavaScript API documentation

Open chainide-agent-bob opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Description

Added warning messages about Web3.js deprecation to the JavaScript API libraries documentation page and all its translations. This update informs developers that Web3.js will be archived on March 4, 2025, and suggests using alternative libraries like Ethers.js or viem for new projects.

Changes made:

  • Added warning message to the main English documentation
  • Added translated warning messages to all available language versions (zh, zh-tw, de, es, fr, ja, it, pl, hu, id, el)
  • Placed the warning message before the code examples to ensure visibility
  • Maintained consistent formatting across all translations

Related Issue

Closes #14718

This PR addresses the documentation update needed following ChainSafe's announcement about Web3.js being archived. The warning will help developers make informed decisions about library choices for their projects.
