PR: #3792

I have upgraded jquery to latest version. My approach was to install jquery migrate and check for any broken stuff. Everything seemed to still work fine after the upgrade but we got a bunch of depricated api's that they recommended moving away from. I have updated the code so we no longer use these in our own code. We still have plugins using these but it is not a problem before jQuery 4.

*How to test:
I don't think a whole lot of testing is needed for this one. We will catch if any bugs should have slipped through the cracks when moving forward. Jquery-migrate didn't find anything so I think we should be fine.

• Sanity check code for updates.
• Make sure the back office still runs. Do a couple of tests you think is needed based on the code changes. It could be:
  -- Add a couple of doc types
  -- Edit a bit of content
  -- Upload some images
  -- Edit a template

Hi @madsrasmussen

Where is jQuery being used in the backoffice ?. And the question is do we still need it ? Most things can be done with plain javascript nowadays.

We still use it quite a lot and we still use a couple of libraries that are dependant on jQuery. We are working towards getting it removed but it won't be today 😃Now it is the latest version at least.

Would be nice to have some clean up done.

Will keep an eye out if I work on something that uses jQuery and can be replaced by vanilla js I will update it

Great! That is the way to go. I am also swapping out libraries when I get the chance to something that isn't dependant on jQuery. One day, we will be able to ship without it :)

The first step could be to have a look at jQuery UI. I think that would be a good start to remove that one.

Tested & all happy. If we run into any problems then we will fix them along the way
