fix(ui): keep a touch-only affordance reachable, or absent
Three controls are revealed by :hover and are the only route to their
action on a device that has none. #68 hid the home card's play button on
touch, which was right because tapping the card does the same thing;
these are the opposite case, so hiding them removes the action outright
and leaving them costs the same long-press flash #68 was filed for --
they are visibility:hidden / opacity:0, so on touch they are invisible
controls that still take taps.

track-details' cover-art overlay and remove, and shortcut-capture's
reset, are always visible under `@media not all and (hover: hover)`.

The queue row's remove is the third case the report names and takes the
other treatment, because #60 has since landed: the row's context menu is
a bottom sheet carrying "Remove from Queue", so the action is one
long-press away and an always-visible X would spend part of a 424px row
on something already reachable. It is display:none outside
`(hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)` rather than visibility:hidden,
which would leave a button holding its hit area and its place in the
accessibility tree -- the trap this issue is about.

The rule is not extracted into styles/ yet: that leaves two call sites
of the always-visible form, under the four the report names.

No tier here can render as a touch device, so the tests read the parsed
stylesheet the way #68's does and say so; the touch and hover renderings
were measured against the running app in a hasTouch context instead.

Closes #137

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
