007 turned this badge from a `<button>` whose handler was a `stopPropagation()` and a TODO into `role="img"`, on the rule that a control which cannot act is worse than none — and wrote down what would change the answer: a `<button>` again *with* a handler, never a handler bolted onto something already shaped like one. This is that. A call site opts in by passing `request-mbid`, so where a badge is redundant it stays a badge: `explore-album-details`'s header has "Want this" in words directly below it, and its template says so by not opting in. An `in-library` badge is never a button either, because there is nothing left to ask for — that is what keeps the tab stops 007 gave back from being spent on nothing. The copy is the action, not the state, and it is deliberately about the request list rather than the library: "Want album X" / "Cancel the request for album X". Clicking still adds nothing to the library, which is what made the original "Add … to library" a promise the control could not keep. Tracks are requestable too. `EntityRecording` is not a placeholder in the request model — `Reconciler.tracklistFor` has a deliberate branch for it, because one expected title is what lets filename matching score a single-track download at all. Artists are not: there is no artist badge anywhere, and a discography subscription belongs on the Follow button that can say what it commits to. The click is swallowed again, for the opposite reason to before: with an action of its own, a click on the badge no longer means what the card means. Enter and Space are stopped for the same reason — every card holding one is a role=button or role=option with its own handler.
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.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig 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.
