Remove legacy peer dependencies

[coolsoftwaretyler]

In #116, we bumped from Node v10 to v20, but that change requires us to use --legacy-peer-deps.

We should fix our peer dependencies to work correctly without the legacy flag.

I had someone email me about taking this on. We made a plan. I don't know their GitHub handle so I can't assign this to them yet, but we do have a volunteer to get started here (as far as I know).

I'll keep an eye on it and remind them if there isn't progress over the weekend.

I haven't heard from them for a while, so I followed up. If I don't hear back by tomorrow I'll just take this one myself next week.

@coolsoftwaretyler, Hey sorry for delaying things a bit, due to issues with my personal laptop. You can assign me the issue now 🖖

[coolsoftwaretyler]

Done! Let me know if you need anything

Hi @grvv - any update on your end?

I am going to be on vacation next week, back on Friday/Saturday. If you haven't made progress by then, I'll reassign to myself and get things moving.

Not a problem if you've been too busy to work on it, but I don't want to put this off too long and I've got a little time next weekend to work on it myself. Lots more to be done to get things up and running.

Hey @coolsoftwaretyler!

I didn't realize there was a bit of urgency here; I thought I could take my time and work on it gradually. I’ve cloned the repo and started diving into the code. I have a couple of light days at work starting today, so I’ll dedicate some time to it and try to make progress before your vacation.

Thanks for the reminder! 🖖

[coolsoftwaretyler]

Thanks @grvv!

Hi @grvv - I'm hoping to get to this sometime this week. Have you made any progress? I don't want to duplicate or supersede any work you've done.

No shame at all if you haven't gotten around to it. I just want to know so I can move forward with the work. There's plenty of stuff left to do if you want to contribute something else!

Thanks for your time so far.

Hey @coolsoftwaretyler,

I just added my draft PR! 🖖

Here’s what I’ve done so far: I started by installing the dependencies without using the --legacy-peer-deps flag and noticed that the Babel loader needed an update. So, I went ahead and updated the Babel loader, its presets/plugins, and migrated Webpack from v3 to v4.

Next, I’ll focus on resolving the remaining peer dependencies one at a time.

I’ve kept it as a draft for now to hear your thoughts or suggestions. I think we both should collaborate on this. I initially thought it’d be a quick fix, but it looks like it might take a bit longer since some dependencies will need code changes (e.g., switching from "react-addons-test-utils" to react-testing-library, and possibly updating the React version itself). I’ve attached a screenshot that highlights this.

Looking forward to your feedback!

[coolsoftwaretyler]

I'll take a look!
