Updating dependencies and removing chokidar-cli

[erinesullivan]

Overview

Updating npm dependencies for the sake of security.

This needs to be a monthly task.

chokidar-cli

chokidar-cli had several vulnerabilities, and has not been updated in 8 months. There is an issue that has been open for a few months to fix it. The package is only used to watch CSS changes, which is nice but is not required for development. I have made the decision to remove it.

Testing

• Remove and install packages (rm -rf node_modules/ && docker-compose run --rm web npm install).
• Launch the site and see if everything looks good.
• Trying and build the css (docker-compose run --rm web npm run build).

So is the idea now to run build manually when you want to see changes?

I'm Ok with getting rid of it, btw just making sure I know the implications. For ruby changes I have to keep restarting sinatra so that kind of thing is not a big deal for me.

@niquerio Correct, which I do anyway. The majority of styling is practically done, so there shouldn't be many CSS changes in the future.

Alright! Get rid of if then. If we want that functionality in the future there other ways to do it.
