Comment (by andraganescu):

 @nerrad I was looking up this function and the docs
 [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_localize_script/
 here] actually recommend using it "to make any data available to your
 script that you can normally only get from the server side of WordPress.".

 I would be good to update that. When you say now there is can you point me
 to a specific alternative?
