This is step 1 of de-special-casing of Windows and letting the LocalAPI HTTP server start serving immediately, even while the rest of the world (notably the Engine and its TUN device) are being created, which can take a few to dozens of seconds on Windows. With this change, the ipnserver.New function changes to not take an Engine and to return immediately, not returning an error, and let its Run run immediately. If its ServeHTTP is called when it doesn't yet have a LocalBackend, it returns an error. A TODO in there shows where a future handler will serve status before an engine is available. Future changes will: * delete a bunch of tailscaled_windows.go code and use this new API * add the ipnserver.Server ServerHTTP handler to await the engine being available * use that handler in the Windows GUI client Updates #6522 Change-Id: Iae94e68c235e850b112a72ea24ad0e0959b568ee Signed-off-by: Brad Fitzpatrick <bradfitz@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).
To do two-sided development (on both the NPM package and code that uses it), run:
./tool/go run ./cmd/tsconnect dev-pkg
This serves the module at http://localhost:9090/pkg/pkg.js and the generated wasm file at http://localhost:9090/pkg/main.wasm. The two files can be used as drop-in replacements for normal imports of the NPM module.
