Use Case

As a... Node driver engineer
I want... to have up to date dependencies
So that... we can be more efficient by using the best available tools

Unknowns

• Do we want to update any previous majors?

Acceptance Criteria

Implementation Requirements

• Review and update the dev and prod dependencies in the following libraries:
  • driver
  • js-bson
  • bson/etc/eslint/no-bigint-usage
  • legacy driver
  • mongo-client-encryption
  • kerberos
  • zstd
  • dbx-js-tools
  • mongodb-connection-string-url

• Update github actions (use the open dependabot PRs)
• Update the dev dependencies to latest available compatible versions
  • Update the major version if and ONLY if this can be done with minimal code changes
    • Do NOT update prettier, eslint, or any other code formatter major versions if it would result in a reformatting of the entire code base
  • If there is compelling reason to adopt a major dependency version that would require significant code changes or reformatting, file a separate ticket to triage with the team
  • Don't update the version of mongodb in mongodb-legacy's prod dependencies outside of a major version bump, since we want users to be able to use it across all minor versions of a given driver major
  • Note that the aws sdk must stay at the version supported in lambda (AWS documents)
  • ANY reformatting MUST be done in a separate pull request and should ONLY be done if the team agrees that it is an important improvement
• Update the prod dependencies to the latest safe and semver-compatible versions
  • Do not upgrade peer dependencies, because that is breaking - someone's build that was passing before can start failing because they didn't manually install an upgraded version of the peer dep
  • If the current major version is no longer supported, file a separate ticket to address this
• Updating TS is NOT part of this ticket, file a separate ticket if an update is available and desirable

Testing Requirements

• All existing tests should continue to pass

Documentation Requirements
