feat(android): the phone's "More" is a bottom sheet
The tab bar's fifth item opened `<app-sidebar>` in a `wa-drawer`
sliding in from the side, which is a desktop shape put on a phone: a
200px column of a 424px screen, opening away from the thumb that asked
for it, with the rest of its 400px band empty. It also had three nested
scrollers in it -- the dialog, its body, and the sidebar's own
`overflow-y: auto` host -- so which box a drag moved depended on where
the finger landed, which is the "only part of the screen scrolls under
my finger" in the report.

It is the same element with `placement="bottom"` and `without-header`,
so the surface is the sheet #60 already built rather than a second
pattern: a `wa-drawer` is a native `<dialog>` opened with `showModal()`,
which is exactly the top layer that finding rests on, so the focus
trap, Escape, tap-outside and `wa-after-hide` come along unchanged and
nothing new has to be proved about paint containment.

The sidebar is still mounted rather than re-listed as data, because the
shell's own copy is `display: none` below 600px rather than removed --
a second list drawing `nav-*` handles is the duplicate-testid failure
this component already renders conditionally to avoid. What `expanded`
means had to grow to say the host owns the *box*: `app-sidebar` writes
an inline width and caps itself at 400px, which beats any rule the host
could write, so the width, the scrolling and the mouse-only resize
handle now follow that attribute. The rows are 48px below 600px, stated
in the sidebar's own stylesheet since that is the only place it renders
there.

Measured in the running app at 424x439: the sheet is 424 wide, 373 tall
(85vh, so there is an outside to tap), rows 48px, one scroller with
`overscroll-behavior: contain`, and Settings' row reachable at the end
of it. Desktop and Compact are untouched.

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
