SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Building desktop applications with Tauri requires coordinating a TypeScript frontend with a Rust backend, and developers often struggle with IPC patterns, security configuration, and project structure. This Skill provides structured guidelines covering the full Tauri development workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Full-Stack Guidance: Covers TypeScript/React frontend patterns with TailwindCSS and ShadCN-UI alongside Rust command definitions and error handling. - IPC & Security Patterns: Provides concrete examples of invoke/listen communication, input validation, CSP configuration, and permission minimization in tauri.conf.json. - Use Case: When scaffolding a new Tauri desktop app, use this Skill to get correct project structure, working Rust command handlers, and secure frontend-to-backend communication code. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to help you build a Tauri desktop application with a React frontend and Rust backend following these guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions about tauri-development

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I call Rust functions from a Tauri frontend?▼

Use the invoke function from @tauri-apps/api/tauri to call Rust commands defined with the #[tauri::command] attribute. Register commands in the builder via tauri::generate_handler! and await the returned promise in TypeScript.

How do I handle errors in Tauri Rust commands?▼

Return Result types from command functions, mapping errors to strings with map_err for frontend consumption. Define custom error types for complex cases and log errors for debugging before propagating them.

What security practices should Tauri applications follow?▼

Validate all inputs from the frontend, minimize permissions in tauri.conf.json, and configure CSP and allowlists. Sanitize file paths and user inputs before passing them to Rust file system operations.

Can I use React and TailwindCSS with Tauri?▼

Yes, Tauri works with any web frontend stack including React, Next.js, TailwindCSS, and ShadCN-UI. The frontend communicates with the Rust backend through the Tauri IPC API rather than a traditional server.

How do I read and write files in a Tauri app?▼

Implement Rust commands using std::fs functions like read_to_string and write, exposing them via #[tauri::command]. Use tauri::api::path helpers like app_data_dir to resolve platform-appropriate directories.
