fix(home): gate the card play button on the device having hover
The play button on a home shelf's cover cards is revealed by :hover, and
a touch long-press synthesises a hover state in the WebView — so on a
phone it flashed into view during the 500ms hold that
utils/long-press.ts is measuring for a context menu. A control appearing
because the user was reaching for a different one.

It is gated on `(hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)` rather than on width,
so it is absent on any touch device and present on a desktop with a small
window. A phone user taps the album and plays from the detail view, so
nothing replaces it.

The default outside the query is display:none, not opacity:0. An
opacity-0 button still takes taps and is still in the accessibility tree,
so leaving the reveal as the only guarded part would keep the hit area
for a control the phone can never show.

The test asserts the parsed stylesheet rather than rendering as a phone,
and says so: CDP's Emulation.setEmulatedMedia does not reach this tier's
iframe, so matchMedia still answers `hover: hover` after it is set. The
regression worth catching is someone hoisting the rule back out of the
query as a tidy-up — a change no desktop assertion can see.

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
