[BUG]: your dependency on @YousefED/typescript-json-schema depends on old/buggy packages

[robogeek]

Issue Type

This is about packages pulled in by using Quicktype

Context (Environment, Version, Language)

This is about output from npm install

CLI, npm, or app.quicktype.io: npm install
Version: 23.0.170

Description

When running npm install I get this output

$ npm install
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.
npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Glob versions prior to v9 are no longer supported

The warnings are due to a dependency on @mark.probst/[email protected]:

$ npm ls glob

Input Data

A dependency in npm package.json

    "quicktype": "^23.0.170",

Expected Behaviour / Output

There should be zero warnings or errors from npm

Current Behaviour / Output

See above

Steps to Reproduce

As noted above, create a project, depend on Quicktype, and run npm install

Possible Solution

Two issues exist against the offending package:

• Update glob dependency to >9.0.0 YousefED/typescript-json-schema#605
• Remove dependency on inflight, switch to lru-cache? YousefED/typescript-json-schema#608

Failing any attention from the typescript-json-schema package maintainer, there is another package that might be of interest...? Maybe? I only know about that because of a link in the typescript-json-schema repository:
