In reply to Brad Dalton. Just tested the code on WordPress 6.7.2, and it still works as it should. Did you try the code directly from the repo?

In reply to Richard Lampitt. Sure, you can write it all in vanilla JS if you prefer. Most developers will want to move over to using more modern tools, though, so that's the method that I teach.
