Adds an on-demand GitHub Action that publishes the package to the npm registry (currently under tailscale-connect, will be moved to @tailscale/connect once we get control of the npm org). Makes the package.json for the NPM package be dynamically generated to have the current Tailscale client version. Updates #5415 Signed-off-by: Mihai Parparita <mihai@tailscale.com>
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).
