Unable to compile ‘optional’ in namespace ‘drogon’ does not name a template type drogon::optional<SignatureData> parse(const drogon::HttpRequestPtr& req);

When I try to compile drogon assist I get the following error:
In file included from /home/albaro/drogon-assist/drogon/assist/http_signature.cpp:1:

This codebase is ancient and I need to update it. This likely broke when Drogon transitioned from C++14/17 to exclusively C++17
