Description

I downloaded the Excel Custom Functions scaffolding project.
When i go to build, there are a lot of "deprecation" warnings.
Additionally, my company's nexus database is quarantining various transitive dependencies, so the build ultimately fails.

Any chance this project could be updated to use newer versions of node packages?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the build for the Excel Custom Functions scaffolding project and record which deprecation warnings and transitive dependencies cause the Nexus quarantine. Review the Node package dependency definitions and build output, then confirm that the project builds without the reported warnings or quarantined dependencies.
