Linter fix

Linting Errors Fix

Several linting errors are reported when running the backend locally. This PR addresses those errors by adding type definitions of : any

• Assign type of : any to functions flagged by the linter

I only made the fixes necessary to address the linting errors

Changes to package.json and package.lock.json have been reverted since Loom recording

[TashaSkyUp]

The changes to package-lock.json and package.json should be explained or removed. These files are very critical to maintain correctly. If you have tested the changes to these files to be working and advantageous please make another PR for them.

I see you did mention packages.json. it's just wild that it caused that many changes in the lock file. I will test this on windows, @Bus42 can you verify its working on linux? and I think @rmjuarez12 can verify mac? I forget are you on mac?

[Bus42]

I can verify that it works in Ubuntu. I did explain the change to package.json in the Loom, but I will update the PR text with the explanation as well.

[Bus42]

I realized that the changes to package.json were due to errors when running npm run deploy which I have been informed is no longer used and reverted the changes to both files.

b71b03e reverts the package files. I used this command that you might find useful!

git restore --source main~7 package-lock.json

[TashaSkyUp]

I'm not going to be able to test this on windows until tomorrow.

I've added explicit types to all instances with the exception of

• /api/middleware/oktaRequire.ts
• /api/words/utils.ts

These are proving a bit tricky

[Bus42]

I've addressed the typing in the remaining two files (oktaRequire.ts and utils.ts) by creating interfaces for both files and a constructor in oktaRequire.ts.

Express functions still need explicit typing. They are currently all typed : any to suppress the errors and allow build, but this is more of a "band-aid" fix. To assign types properly, I will need to install the @types/express library.

Hand testing passed on windows. Thank you @Bus42 !
