Source code layout

The source code is laid out according to the following top-level directory structure:

• src/common/ contains code that is safe to use in a Worker and on the main thread. Code within this directory must not import files outside of src/common/, and must also avoid taking dependencies on APIs that are only usable on the main thread (e.g., the DOM APIs) or only usable on Workers (e.g., importScripts).
• src/workers/ contains code that can only be used in Workers, along with specific Worker scripts delivered with the @itwin/core-frontend package. Code within this directory may import files from src/common/.
• All other files in src/ - excluding the two subdirectories listed above - contain code that can only be used on the main thread. They can import from src/common/, but not from src/workers/.
