fix(a11y): let the shell scroll sideways when it does not fit
a11y.21 (WCAG 1.4.10), measured rather than taken as filed. The
finding's mechanism is vertical — "the 4em bars grow while the viewport
does not, and anything that no longer fits is clipped with no
scrollbar" — and that is not what happens. The middle row is `1fr` and
absorbs the growth exactly: at 200% text on 800x600 the bars go 64px to
128px and the panel 472px to 344px, with the footer still landing on
600. Nothing is clipped vertically, and Settings stays reachable
because the sidebar scrolls (007 phase 5).

What is real is the axis the finding does not mention. At 200% text the
shell is 1014px wide in an 800px viewport, and at 320px — 400% page
zoom of 1280, the width 1.4.10 names — it is 784px, so 464px of the
app including the job indicator and the queue button sat behind
`overflow: hidden` with no way to reach it.

So the horizontal axis scrolls and the vertical one stays fixed, which
also keeps the transport where a desktop player's transport belongs. At
every size this app promises there is no overflow on either axis and no
scrollbar appears, which the three viewport cases assert.

The first version of the spec passed on the broken build: `overflow:
hidden` still permits programmatic scrolling, so `scrollLeft = 9999`
proves nothing. It is a wheel gesture now.

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
