Counter.sol not found in Openzeppelin Contracts

Counter.sol not found in Openzeppelin Contracts What is the replacement for Counter.sol in Openzeppelin contracts? I get this error when I try to run my contract:

lib/openzeppelin-contracts/contracts/utils/Counters.sol": No such file or directory (os error 2)

It has been removed in openzeppelin v5 and most likely not coming back. You can either downgrade OZ version to 4.x, which is not recommended since a lot of patches have been merged since then fixing various vulnurabilities, or you can replace counter with something else, in most cases a single variable will do the trick. For more details I'll advise to check out the PR which removed Counters.sol from OZ codebase - it contains the reasoning behind this move and different strategies how one can move on without it
