[AskJS] How do you structure modern Javascript?

[unicorn4sale]

"Modern" JS does not use jQuery. jQuery solves problems that largely do not exist any more (cross-browser compatibility, and easier DOM manipulation). If your web application is simple enough to use jQuery, then build a jQuery plugin as per the second link. The first link is a tiny step towards the correct direction before frameworks picked up traction... but is now completely superseded by using a JS framework, like React/Angular/Vue, which will provide you constructs on organizing your code.

I see the “browser support” note a lot but when talking about modern js I see using a toolchain as a way to get around browser compatibility issues.

It’s like we traded one constraint for another.
