The shelves, the top results and the artist page's discography and similar-artists rows scrolled sideways only by a horizontal wheel or a trackpad, so a plain mouse could not reach anything past the fold. <scroll-row> wraps each of them with previous/next arrows that are hidden at the end they cannot move from, revealed on hover where there is hover, and always shown where there is not. The album card is defined once, in albumCardStyles, instead of twice. explore-view clamped its cards to 130-150px, and with square artwork that made cards in one row different heights as well as widths. The width is fixed now and each line under the art reserves its own space. Covers are inset rather than cropped (contain, not cover). The ownership badge sits over the artwork for owned and unowned alike, and catalog cards no longer dim: a grid of dimmed covers read as a page that had failed to load. The album page's tracklist still dims unowned rows, which says something different about something different. Every MusicBrainz link now goes through openMusicBrainz, which pins the origin, including the one on the album page that still called window.open directly. solid/chevron-left is bundled for the left arrow; without it the arrow drew the missing-icon fallback.

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.
vitefor- transpiling typescript
- bundling the final "package" that is useb by the webview
- running a dev server with hot-reloading
- configured with the
vite.config.tsfile in this directory
pnpmfor managing frontend dependency packages
There are a handful of dependency packages that we use directly in the frontend.
picocssfor basic CSS while developinglitfor a simple but powerful wrapper around Web Components
Lastly, there are some dependencies that only benefit development
tsservercomes bundled with vscode and can be used as an LSP with other editors usingtypescript-language-server- Used for autocomplete, syntax highlighting, etc.
- This can be configured with the
tsconfig.jsonfile in the root of the project- NOTE: your configuration should align with the
viteconfig 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.
