update packages to newer versions

[Cmdv]

Hi I was just working my way through this blog post and it was failing as craco & react-scripts have both updated and things just wouldn't compile.

I've tested this locally and it all seems to be aok 👍

Cool. Thanks. Could you tell me what "things just wouldn't compile" means in detail? Could you provide the error message?

There is also a companion repository using this loader, which I would also expect needs to be updated.

https://github.com/andys8/create-react-app-purescript

In addition the blog post contains versions and should probably also be updated

https://github.com/thomashoneyman/writing/blob/main/articles/replace-react-components-with-purescript.md

@andys8 well it's because of these line:

npm install --save @craco/craco
npm install --save-dev craco-purescript-loader

https://github.com/thomashoneyman/writing/blob/main/articles/replace-react-components-with-purescript.md?plain=1#L178-L180

so the first line installs the latest version 6.4.0 of craco locally to the project and this library is a little behind at 5.6.4 which gives you:

hile resolving: my-app@0.1.0
npm ERR! Found: @craco/craco@6.4.0
npm ERR! node_modules/@craco/craco
npm ERR!   @craco/craco@"^6.4.0" from the root project

could not resolve dependency:
npm ERR! peer @craco/craco@"^5.6.4" from craco-purescript-loader@1.0.1

one can get around it by using the npm flag --force but that always feels a little off to me 😱

oooh hadn't seen the repo you created too, that should come really handy. I'm attempting to convince and convert an existing React app into a React-Purescript one in an incremental manner 😄

Will update dependencies now :) Thank you

Thanks @andys8 much appreciated 😄
