tauri-architecture

What problem does it solve?

This Skill guides architects and developers through designing robust, scalable Tauri desktop applications by integrating a Rust backend with a React + TypeScript frontend, addressing the complexities of cross‑team collaboration, security, and deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Project structure blueprint: enforces a clean separation between frontend and Rust backend (src-tauri and src/).
• IPC patterns: demonstrates Command pattern (frontend → backend) and Event pattern (backend → frontend) for reliable communication.
• Security best practices: tauri allowlists, input validation, and secure data handling for desktop apps.
• Cross-platform packaging guidance: instructions for building and bundling for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
• Use cases: design new Tauri apps from scratch, migrate existing web apps to desktop, prototype secure desktop features.

Quick Start

Create a new Tauri project with a React + TypeScript frontend and a Rust backend, following the architecture blueprint described. Configure tauri.conf.json and IPC contracts early to ensure secure and predictable interactions between frontend and backend. Start development with npm run tauri dev and iterate on the architecture design before adding business logic.
