Upgrade UUID

[DMGregory]

installing automerge yields this warning:

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: Please upgrade to version 7 or higher. Older versions may use Math.random() in certain circumstances, which is known to be problematic. See https://v8.dev/blog/math-random for details.

So it sounds like we should update our UUID version. Any concerns with doing so?

I can't anticipate any concerns, but it's a good question. We can always roll back the version if we come into problems.

@DMGregory am following this guide. will upgrade and push to a branch stemming from replication once ready. after verifying it works ok we can merge into replication?

[michaelpalumbo]

Hmm. I am confused by what is expected when upgrading. I see on line 57 of demo.js

const { v4: uuidv4 } = require("uuid")

That we are already using the most popular variant of the package, yet the automerge install warning is referencing version 3.x.

@DMGregory just wanted to follow up on this. is this still a concern? if so was I on the right track?
