[Feature Request]: Make CI work

The vision

Can anyone in the community pitch in and finish the work of making our CI work?

1. I fixed a bunch of linter errors, but there are a few more to go (just clone, npm i --dev, and npm run lint to see the list)
2. Even once we fix the linter errors, the CI tests won't pass because a local MongoDB server needs to be running. It looks like this is achievable with GitHub Actions: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/mongodb-in-github-actions .

Would be a huge help to the community if someone could step up for this, since right now (and for a long time) we've been flying blind with releases and MongoDB compatibility/testing. Huge huge thanks to anyone able to take this on.

@DABH regarding the MongoDB compatibility testing:

• Could it be useful to use something like mongodb-memory-server so anyone (including CI) can run the tests without explicitly having MongoDB installed?
• What versions of MongoDB need to be included in the testing? Is it sufficient to use the current latest version (6.0) or should other versions that have not yet reached end-of-life status (4.4, 5.0) be included?

Hi! On your two points:

1. That sounds great!!
2. Ideally I’d vote for a test matrix with 4.4, 5.0, and 6.0 (GitHub Actions makes it pretty easy to set up a matrix of tests), but if that is way too hard for whatever reason, just 6.0 is way better than nothing :)

Excited/grateful for anything you could do!!
