Include the PeerAPI base URL (http://ip:port) in every node entry of the notifyNetMap payload — for self via LocalBackend.GetPeerAPIPort, for peers by reading the PeerAPI4/PeerAPI6 Services entries in their Hostinfo. The URL mirrors the address-family preference used by peerAPIBase (prefer IPv4). Add a localAPI(method, path, body?) WASM binding that dispatches in-process HTTP requests directly to a LocalAPI handler with full read/write/cert permissions, returning {status, body}. Enables TypeScript callers to access any LocalAPI endpoint (ACL policy, Taildrive shares, etc.) without network setup. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.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, CSS and Go wasm package changes can be picked up with a browser reload. Server-side Go changes require the server to be stopped and restarted. In development mode the state the Tailscale client state 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.
