✓ freshdeps checked left-pad live against npm, GitHub & OSV on Jun 28, 2026 — but it goes stale again.
Install the MCP so your AI agent checks freshness before it recommends a dependency:
claude mcp add freshdeps -- npx -y github:SolvoHQ/freshdeps-mcp
npm deprecation notice: use String.prototype.padStart()
Suggested alternative
String.prototype.padStart (built-in)
native string padding makes the dependency unnecessary.
Migration
str.padStart(5, '0') // native, replaces leftPad(str,5,'0'); no dependency needed
Embed this freshdeps badge in your README. It reads the same hand-verified migration corpus this page does — so it tells anyone who lands on your repo whether left-pad is a dead end before they install it.
