SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Subscribing to and handling Tauri events in the frontend can be error-prone without typed payloads and reliable cleanup, causing runtime issues and hard-to-maintain code.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Global event listening using the events API
  • Webview-specific event listening for targeted communications
  • Typed payloads and reusable listen helpers to improve maintainability
  • One-time listeners and cleanup patterns to avoid leaks
  • Suitable for React, Vue, and Svelte frontends that interact with Rust emit code

Quick Start

Install the @tauri-apps/api package and start with a simple global event listener using listen.

FAQPage Schema
How do I listen to Tauri events in React with typed payloads?

Tauri event listening uses the @tauri-apps/api/event module to subscribe frontend code to Rust emits, utilizing typed payloads and reusable listen helpers to ensure safe, predictable event handling across React, Vue, and Svelte applications.

What is the best way to clean up Tauri event listeners in a frontend framework?

The best way to clean up Tauri event listeners is by implementing explicit cleanup patterns using one-time listeners and unlisten functions, which prevents memory leaks and ensures safe, predictable event handling across React, Vue, and Svelte apps.

Can I listen to webview-specific Tauri events instead of global ones?

Yes, you can listen to webview-specific Tauri events for targeted communications. The approach supports both global event listening and webview-specific event listening using the @tauri-apps/api/event module to handle Rust emits accurately.

Does Tauri event listening work with Vue and Svelte frontends?

Yes, Tauri event listening works with Vue and Svelte frontends. The implementation applies across React, Vue, and Svelte apps using typed event interfaces and reusable listen helpers from the @tauri-apps/api/event module for robust integration.

Why do I need typed payloads for Tauri event subscriptions?

Typed payloads are needed for Tauri event subscriptions because subscribing without them is error-prone, causing runtime issues and hard-to-maintain code. Typed event interfaces ensure safe, predictable event handling aligned with Rust emits.

How do I handle one-time Tauri events without causing memory leaks?

To handle one-time Tauri events without memory leaks, you use one-time listeners and explicit cleanup patterns provided by the @tauri-apps/api/event module, ensuring the listener is automatically removed after the event is received.
