## Description

**As** a developer  
**I want** to replace prototype.js by preferably AngularJS or fallback to jQuery  
**so that** there are less dependencies and less code to load

**Acceptance criteria**

  - the following gems are no longer part of the gemfile
      - prototype-rails
      - prototype\_legacy\_helper
  - the functionality provided by prototype is reimplemented with Angular/jQuery

**Note**

  - The question on whether to use Angular or jQuery will have to be answered for every functionality anew. As Angular is the ultimate goal, we should prefer it but if it requires a lot of additional work, we might stick to jQuery for now.
  - plugins depending on prototype will have to be considered as well. We will probably have a new story per plugin.
