fix(ui): the phone's nav sheet says when it scrolls
Since #71 the phone's "More" is a bottom sheet, and at the reference
viewport it does not fit: measured at 424x439 with the seed's eight
destinations, the body is scrollHeight 412 against clientHeight 373, so
39px is below a fold nothing announces. Where the cut lands on a row
boundary the sheet ends in a clean edge that reads as the end of the
list, which is what #207 fixed one sheet over.

The rule is that sheet's, not a second answer to the same question:
#207's two background layers move into styles/sheet-scroll.css.ts and
both sheets adopt them, with the colour left to each host as
--yj-sheet-surface. The nav sheet paints the sidebar's --yj-bg-surface
and the context sheet the menus' --yj-bg-elevated, so a shared rule that
hard-coded either would draw that seam across the other one.

The half that makes it visible is that nothing inside the sheet may
repaint the surface. These are layers on the scroller, and app-sidebar's
host carries the same grey -- in the shell its own background, in the
sheet a second opaque copy of the sheet's, over the fade. With the
fragment adopted and that rule missing, the running app measured a flat
52,58,64 to the bottom edge with 39px still below: the defect unchanged,
with every assertion about background-attachment passing. menu-surface
already meets it from the other side, where the sheet's panel is
background-color: transparent.

YellowJacket Frontend

This directory contains the frontend for YellowJacket.

Dependencies

There are a couple of tools that are required to build and use the frontend.

  • vite for
    • transpiling typescript
    • bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
    • running a dev server with hot-reloading
    • configured with the vite.config.ts file in this directory
  • pnpm for managing frontend dependency packages

There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.

Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development

  • tsserver comes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors using typescript-language-server
    • Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
    • This can be configured with the tsconfig.json file in the root of the project
      • NOTE: your configuration should align with the vite config so you get in-editor feedback that aligns with how the build will be done.

Development

Ideally, you would use the frontend in the wails app as the frontend depends on the Go bindings generated by Wails. You can do this by running wails dev in the root of the YellowJacket repo.

If you want to run the frontend standalone, make sure the Wails go bindings have been generated with wails generate modules. Then, you can run pnpm dev to run the vite dev server. For more information on what commands are available, refer to package.json.

Code

Web Components

Our frontend is based off of Web Components, a standard that provides native browser encapsulation of components that can include HTML, CSS and Javascript all together. Instead of writing these components manually in Javascript, we utilize lit as a wrapper library.

Typescript

To better integrate with our tooling and to provide a better developer experience with strong typing, we have written all functional frontend code in Typescript. Vite serves as our Typescript transpiler.

Important Files and Directories

NOTE: most of these directories have aliases defined in tsconfig.json and vite.config.ts so that we may refer to them by shorthand when importing.

  • index.html and index.js is the entrypoint for the frontend. The first page that loads.
  • wailsjs/go Go code bindings generated by wails reside here
  • wailsjs/runtime the Wails runtime code needed to use Wails features
  • src all app code resides here
  • src/assets static assets like fonts, images and icons
  • src/components lit components that are used to compose the application
  • src/pages pages that serve as other entrypoints for the application that can be navigated to
