Removed global aliases
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The following global aliases were removed in Nextcloud 35,
they have been deprecated since Nextcloud 17 and scheduled for removal since Nextcloud 20:

- ``oc_appswebroots`` use ``OC.appswebroots`` instead
- ``oc_config`` use ``OC.config`` instead
- ``oc_current_user`` use ``OC.getCurrentUser().uid`` instead
- ``oc_debug`` use ``OC.debug`` instead
- ``oc_defaults`` use ``OC.theme`` instead
- ``oc_isadmin`` use ``OC.isUserAdmin()`` instead
- ``oc_requesttoken`` use ``OC.requestToken`` instead
- ``oc_webroot`` use ``OC.webroot`` instead
- ``OCDialogs`` use ``OC.dialogs`` instead

Please keep in mind that ``OC`` is considered a private namespace for which our stability rules do not fully apply.
Its recommended to use the :ref:`Nextcloud frontend libraries<js-libraries>` instead if possible.
