Web App Manifests

The web app manifest is a file you create that tells the browser how you want your web content to display as an app in the operating system. The manifest can include basic information such as the app's name, icon, and theme color; advanced preferences, such as desired orientation and app shortcuts; and catalog metadata, such as screenshots.

Development

This is a single-page app built with TypeScript and Web Components from Web Awesome and Lit, bundled with Vite.

1. Your development environment needs to have Node.js installed, otherwise get started quickly with the included devcontainer in VSCode.
2. Run npm install to install dependencies.
3. Run npm start to build and start a devserver, then navigate to http://localhost:5173/appmanifest/ to find the app.

This app uses @lit/localize for transations. For any message changes, run npm run i18n-extract to extract the changes into the xliff folder, update the translations in there, then run npm run i18n-build.
