A particularly notable example of old code, JS has better native tools for this lately.

Change all of the JQuery AJAX into something modern (probably native JS). This might be doable as you move through the other files.

• find all the jQuery AJAX usages
• modularize them into one coherent place

need to figure out a way to, modularize code, require keyword does not work in frontend code,
two possible solutions

1. To use enque_scripts and add the code to the list
2. To configure webpack

Option 1, use enque_scripts is most likely the way to go. That's actually another whole area that's on my mind to refactor, but we can get there later. There's an example at https://github.com/NEU-Libraries/drs-toolkit-wp-plugin/blob/ceres-connection/drs-tk.php#L1169 . And the WP documentation for how it works. If you go that route, put the PHP near the top of drs-tk.php.
