`src/` is broken up into several subdirectories: - `lib/` and `types`/ for shared code and type definitions (more code will be moved here) - `app/` for the existing Preact-app - `pkg/` for the new NPM package A new `build-pkg` esbuild-based command is added to generate the files for the NPM package. To generate type definitions (something that esbuild does not do), we set up `dts-bundle-generator`. Includes additional cleanups to the Wasm type definitions (we switch to string literals for enums, since exported const enums are hard to use via packages). Also allows the control URL to be set a runtime (in addition to the current build option), so that we don't have to rebuild the package for dev vs. prod use.

tsconnect
The tsconnect command builds and serves the static site that is generated for the Tailscale Connect JS/WASM client.
Development
To start the development server:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect dev
The site is served at http://localhost:9090/. JavaScript and CSS changes can be picked up with a browser reload. Go changes (including to the wasm
package) require the server to be stopped and restarted. In development mode the state the Tailscale client is stored in sessionStorage
and will thus survive page reloads (but not the tab being closed).
Deployment
To build the static assets necessary for serving, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect build
To serve them, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect serve
By default the build output is placed in the dist/
directory and embedded in the binary, but this can be controlled by the -distdir
flag. The -addr
flag controls the interface and port that the serve listens on.
Library / NPM Package
The client is also available as an NPM package. To build it, run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect build-pkg
That places the output in the pkg/
directory, which may then be uploaded to a package registry (or installed from the file path directly).
