Deprecation warning message for embla-carousel-react users

[davidspiess]

I had absolutely no idea embla-carousel-react was moved into the embla-carousel package. NPM always told me i had the newest version, so i missed two major version updates.
Can you release a new minor embla-carousel-react version, which informs the users that the package is abandoned? (https://github.com/dylang/shortid package did this recently too). There are still more than 2000 downloads each week for the old package, so maybe there are some other people out there not knowing about this.

Hello David (@davidspiess),

Thank you sharing this. Your suggestion makes a lot of sense! I've officially deprecated the package by following the guidelines in the NPM docs.

Would you mind verifying that you get the deprecation notice followed by the message in red, when you try to install the embla-carousel-react package 👇?

Note that you might need to clear your NPM cache in order for it to work properly. By the way, how did you notice that it was deprecated? Just curious how it came to your knowledge.

Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David!
Awesome! Now i get a warning in NPM!

By the way, how did you notice that it was deprecated?

It was a coincidence. I updated to React 17 and got a warning that embla-carousel-react requires a peer dependency of React 16. So i went to the repo to report that. 😋
