Hey, I'd like to work on this issue. Could you provide some more information?

Hi @rahil1304, thanks for offering your help! What kind of information are you looking for?

• If you are new to GitHub pull requests, then you can learn about the process in Submitting a pull request to LoopBack 4.
• If this is your first contribution to LoopBack, then please take a look at our Developer guide

As for this issue in particular:

• I would start with searching for all places containing the word shot (match case, match whole world in VSCode search) and update them accordingly. Files found by my search:
  • packages/testlab/package.json
  • packages/testlab/README.md
  • packages/testlab/src/shot.ts
• Code and package.json entries referring to @hapi/shot should use light-my-way instead, the docs should be updated similarly.
• I am not sure if light-my-way ships TypeScript typings. If it does not, then we will need to add @types/light-my-way too.
• After you modify package.json file, please run npm install to update the installed dependencies too.

Unfortunately, we don't have tests for shot inside testlab, I think we rely on tests in other packages in the monorepo to verify the functionality. You can run npm test in the monorepo root directory to verify that everything keeps working.

Last but not least, the commit message should annotate the change as breaking, see Making breaking changes in our developer docs.

Also feel free to ask for help in #loopback-contributors channel, you can join our Slack workspace here.

Hey @bajtos
I needed some help with the code in the shot.ts file.

import {
  Listener as ShotListener,
  RequestOptions as ShotRequestOptions,
  ResponseObject,
} from 'shot'; 

So these are the particular libraries that are being used from @hapi/shot. Just confirming, I need to find the similar libraries that are being used in light-my-way, and accordingly replace it, right? The rest of the code in shot.ts stays the same, right?

Yes, that's correct.

I just realized that the issue title and description were referring to an incorrect module light-my-way, which does not exist. The correct module name is light-my-request, see https://www.npmjs.com/package/light-my-request.

Sorry for the confusion I created 🙈

AFAICT, light-my-request provides InjectionOptions instead of RequestOptions (see light-my-request/index.d.ts#L31), Response instead of ResponseObject (see light-my-request/index.d.ts#L73. I am not sure what name they use instead of Listener, perhaps DispatchFunc?

hello, I would love to work on this

@blackpandan sure, please go ahead.

Hi there, if this Issue is still not resolved i would like to give it a shot!

Sure thing, @ConaGo! Feel free to ask queries here or on #loopback-contributors on Slack. The maintainers will try to help where possible.
