Hylar as a dependency of a strict-Node.js 13 application

[StatelessCat]

Hi,
When adding Hylar@1.8.5 as a dependency for a project that requires Node.js 13 to run, I did not succeed in building its dependencies, using npm nor yarn.

The faulty "sqlite3" transitive dependency of your project (multer@1.4.2 -> rdflib@0.17.1 -> rdfstore@0.9.17 -> sqlite3@3.1.13) prevent it.

The workaround is obviously to install Hylar as Node.js 10, then to require it in Node.js 13, which works, but not optimal. Or just to expressly --ignore-engines and runtimes checks in npm but it did not work for me (still a problem to build sqlite3).

What is your opinion on it?
Is it possible to change multer as an optional dependency?
What I'm missing on this problem?

Thanks.

Hello and thanks for raising this issue.
Since rdfstore is not maintained, I forked it to remove its vulnerabilities. This includes an upgrade of sqlite3 to its latest version. HyLAR 1.10 now uses this forked rdfstore package, which potentially solves problems with Node 13.

Let me know if this new version works on your side. If multer still causes dysfunctions, it should be solved in the next HyLAR release.
