iframe change followup

[Greggman]

A few random notes/thoughts about the change to iframes

It allows non-typescript examples

1. make a folder like this

   +-sample
     +-myJSOnlySample
       +-index.html     // the file that will be launched
       +-meta.ts        // data about it (name, what files)
   

2. edit src/samples.ts and include the meta.ts file

URL changes

• old: https://site/webgpu-samples/samples/nameOfSample
• new: https://site/webgpu-samples/?sample=nameOfSample

The old URLs redirect to the new ones. If you really hate the new ones we could make the framework do history.replace(...) to make the new ones appear to be correct (they'd still work)

Note:

• redirect: https://site/webgpu-samples/samples/nameOfSample
• iframe: https://site/webgpu-samples/sample/nameOfSample

We could move the workload-simulator to a sample folder

Just for organizational purposes. It would be easy to add a flag to SampleInfo to make the link open in a new tab

Cache issues

The new style builds the files with the same names. This might have cache issues. I can look into making it build all the JavaScript/CSS files with cache-busting names, (and the index.html files with links to them) if that's important.
