Tauri
Tauri is a framework to build desktop applications with any frontend framework and a Rust core.
Learn more on the Tauri website.
Adapter
Make sure you use the Static Adapter.
Then you can build your app with
pnpm run build
npm run build
yarn run build
bun run build
Add Tauri
To install Tauri:
pnpm install @tauri-apps/cli
npm install @tauri-apps/cli
yarn add @tauri-apps/cli
bun install @tauri-apps/cli
In your package.json
, add this script:
package.json
"scripts": {
"tauri": "tauri"
}
Then, to scaffold a minimal Rust project that is pre-configured to use Tauri, open a terminal and run the following command:
pnpm run tauri init
npm run tauri init
yarn run tauri init
bun run tauri init
This command will walk you through a quick setup:
- What is your app name? This will be the name of your final bundle and what the OS will call your app. You can use any name you want here.
- What should the window title be? This will be the title of the default main window. You can use any title you want here.
- Where are your web assets (HTML/CSS/JS) located relative to the
<current dir>/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
file that will be created? This is the path that Tauri will load your frontend assets from when building for production. Use../dist
for this value. - What is the URL of your dev server?
This can be either a URL or a file path that Tauri will load during development.
Use
http://localhost:5173
for this value. - What is your frontend dev command?
This is the command used to start your frontend dev server.
Use
dev
command (make sure to adapt this to use the package manager of your choice). - What is your frontend build command?
This is the command to build your frontend files.
Use
build
command (make sure to adapt this to use the package manager of your choice).
That's it! Finally you can run this command to start developing your app:
pnpm run tauri dev
npm run tauri dev
yarn run tauri dev
bun run tauri dev
