Description

Hi all,

while going through the code of the plugin I found it is using global variables in the JavaScript part.

This style of programming is named 'deprecated' here:
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/developer_manual/app/javascript-apis.html

Are there any plans to change to JS part of the plugin in the near future?

Thanks for informations regarding this and the work on the plugin itself!

Best Regards

Research direction

Start with the plugin's JavaScript code and the linked Nextcloud Server 19 JavaScript APIs guidance. The issue names no files or tests, so first locate the global-variable usage and establish the supported replacement. Done should mean the deprecated global usage is removed and the relevant JavaScript behavior still works.
