✨✨✨✨✨ React Credit Cards - Community Packages 2023

[felquis]

Hello everybody, I created this issue so we can discuss as a community that uses this library.

The main purpose of this issue is to list the best forks published to npm.
This issue can be sent to people who want to contribute to the project but are looking for active maintainers to discuss implementation and testing.
This issue can be sent to people who are just getting to know the original project is currently not maintained and there are other forks available.

Packages:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/elt-react-credit-cards - CAN YOU PLEASE UPDATE REACT DEPENDENCY VERSION AS 17! #101 (comment) by @ronnythedev
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-credit-cards-2 - https://github.com/felquis/react-credit-cards-2 by @felquis @SeanCassiere
• if you know other forks published comment here

That's it, tell me what do you think and how can we keep it working as expected together as a community.

Came over to the repo because of the React 18 blocker and I'm realising that this package seems to be dead in terms of maintenance, but clearly NOT in usage.

And I get it, the maintainers may not have time to spare for the development of new features and whatnot, which is fair. But it doesn't mean that maybe a couple of hours a month can't be spared to review some PRs from those who are actively looking to maintain and keep the package alive. Going through the list of closed PRs is kind of depressing as there are plenty of PRs that are aimed at actually making this package better but are essentially just expiring sitting in limbo.

All in all, the overall lack of actual released changes into this library is making me wonder whether as a community we should be look at forking this library and moving it elsewhere. Or maybe even reimplement it from the ground up with Typescript.

Thanks @felquis!! I think this is a great way to help the community move forwards when a well used package isn't maintained anymore 🎉

Hi @felquis
Thank you for your contribution.
I have a question.
If so, should we use react-credit-cards-2 instead of react-credit-cards for react18?
Of course, there is no big problem in the process of using react-credit-cards, but.

It's really up to you @FullstackWEB-developer - you can pick one of the community packages as you see fit.
