Modernize repository #206
Description
While the software in this repo still works, we should modernize the code and bring it up to modern standards:
- Update dependencies to their latest versions (incl. Docker and GitHub actions workflow)
- Enable Renovate bot (e.g. https://github.com/comunica/comunica/blob/master/renovate.json)
- Migrate to TypeScript (tsconfig from Comunica can be reused)
- Migrate to ESLint (e.g. with https://github.com/rubensworks/eslint-config as config, similar to Comunica's setup)
- Migrate to Jest to Vitest (and require 100% code coverage)
- Generate Component.js components files automatically using https://github.com/LinkedSoftwareDependencies/Components-Generator.js (possible only after TypeScript migration)
- Proof-read and complete documentation

It might be worthwhile adding types first such that agentic tools can support you better.

Renovate seems to already be enabled. (verified in online portal). Only thing different is that we now specify the json-shema as well.

@rubensworks is dual packaging/ converting to ESM also part of the modernization strategy?

No, doesn't seem high prio to me, since this is not really used as a library.

Seems like the imports of this repo violate the monorepo package API boundaries. Some lib files import the lib files of another package directly. Since the code is mostly used for it's binaries, it has kept under the radar, but when using the code as a lib, it's quite an anti-pattern. Ofcource, if we start exposing more functionality, the API we need to keep stable grows.

Another interesting task might be to look whether we still need to depend on lodash. Old codebases can often migrate to modern EcmaScript + little util functions instead of depending on lodash.
