Renaming to express-openapi-validation

[philsturgeon]

Hey, I think the name express-openapi-validation would be much more fitting from this project. Since the name change from OpenAPI to Swagger 3 and a bit years ago, the word Swagger is only referring to tools by SmartBear, and it causes a lot of confusion in the community to have folks keep calling everything Swagger when that is no longer the name.

Also, it's great that you're using AJV under the hood, but you probably want to protect that implementation detail from your end users allowing you to change the validator in the future.

I'm going to accept the PR for openapi.tools for now (apisyouwonthate/openapi.tools#87), but it would be awesome if you could update the name sometime. :)

Considering that it's not just Express anymore, probably something along the lines of 'openapi-validation' would be even better :D

@kobik hey, congratulations on v1.0 but it looks like this issue was missed?

[kobik]

Thanks a lot @philsturgeon for the PR!

We've decided to postpone it to the next major release.

In order to pull this out correctly, I believe that the way to rename the package should go like that

1. Rename github project name in order to preserve all history
2. Fork it to the old project name
3. Change package name references in source code
4. Publish under the new name
5. Add deprecation message in the fork with reference to the new package name
6. Publish the forked project to npm

WDYT @idanto @kibertoad @philsturgeon

That’ll do the trick nicely.

@kibertoad, @idanto @philsturgeon, going to rename the package to openapi-validation-middleware if there are no objections according the process described above.

[kibertoad]

Would be amazing!

[philsturgeon]

Yes please!

Please review #114

openapi-validation-middleware is already taken in npm so i used openapi-validator-middleware instead
