logan 867ced8c81 feat(player): leave the volume to the system where the system owns it
On Android the hardware keys are the volume control and the framework
mixes our stream against the device level, so a second control inside
the app moves something the user already moved.  Where that is true the
player's level sits at maximum, SetVolume / ChangeVolume / MuteToggle
are refused, and nothing persists a level nobody chose: restore
remembers the stored value instead of applying it, and saveState writes
that same value back rather than recording the synthetic maximum.

Mute is in that list because it is a level of zero by another name --
and because with no control rendered it would be the one state on such
a platform the user could not get out of.

The predicate is named after the capability rather than the platform,
because that is what makes it testable.  Only platformOwnsVolume is
behind a build tag, in two files that declare nothing else; everything
else is decided against Player.systemVolume, a field a test sets either
way.  That is mediacontrols' split, with androidpayload.go's reasoning
for keeping the contract out of a tagged file, and the tagged pair is
covered by a source sweep since no tier here compiles both halves.

SetDuck is deliberately untouched: it applies its attenuation by
re-applying the *user's* level through setVolumeLocked, so pinning that
level to maximum leaves the offset arithmetic exactly as it was.  It is
the only thing that may still move the output on such a platform, and
TestSystemVolumeStillDucks is that property rather than a comment.

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
