TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, converting the entire theme to
TypeScript allows us to receive much more feedback on possible issues made in
package updates or our own typos, furthermore, it allows to transpile properly
to lower specs. This PR couldn't be done in smaller commits, a lot of work
needed to make everything *work properly*:
- A browser baseline has been set that requires minimum **Chromium 93, Firefox
92 and Safari 15** (proper visuals/operation on older browser versions is not
guaranteed)
- LightningCSS now handles minification and prefix creation for CSS.
- All hardcoded polyfills and support for previous browser baseline versions
have been removed.
- Convert codebase to TypeScript.
- Convert IIFE to ESM, handling globals with IIFE is cumbersome, ESM is the
standard for virtually any use of JS nowadays.
- Vite now builds the theme without the need for `vite-plugin-static-copy`.
- `searxng.ready` now accepts an array of conditions for the callback to be
executed.
- Replace `leaflet` with `ol` as there were some issues with proper Vite
bundling.
- Merged `head` with `main` script, as head was too small now.
- Add `assertElement` to properly check the existence of critical DOM elements.
- `searxng.on` renamed to `searxng.listen` with some handling improvements.
This has been a regression introduced with the removal of
the unmaintained autocomplete.js library.
We should only focus the search bar on the main search page at `/`
and not at the results page located at `/search`.
I'm not sure if there's a better way to figure out if
we're on the results page than checking if the id of the
main element is `#main_results`, checking the path
obviously isn't a better solution because it can differ
depending on the instance / reverse proxy / ....

Vite is a build tool, it consists of two major parts [1]:
- A dev server that provides rich feature enhancements over native ES modules,
for example extremely fast Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
- A build command that bundles your code with Rollup, pre-configured to output
highly optimized static assets for production.
