listening-to-tauri-events

To listen to Tauri events in a frontend framework, use the @tauri-apps/api/event module to subscribe to emitted payloads. This skill provides cross-framework examples for React, Vue, and Svelte to ensure consistent usage and typed payloads.

Global Tauri events broadcast across the entire application, while webview-specific events are scoped to a targeted webview. This skill clarifies how to subscribe to both event types correctly, ensuring you apply the proper event scoping for your frontend listeners.

To properly clean up Tauri event listeners in React or Vue, you must explicitly call the unlisten function provided by the @tauri-apps/api/event module during your component's lifecycle cleanup phase. This prevents memory leaks by ensuring proper unlisten management.

Yes, you can use TypeScript interfaces for Tauri event payloads to achieve type-safe clarity. This skill enables typed payloads by applying TypeScript interfaces when subscribing to events, ensuring your frontend reacts to emitted data with strict type checking.

A Tauri webview event listener may trigger multiple times or leak memory if the unlisten cleanup is not explicitly managed. This skill provides proper cleanup patterns and unlisten management across React, Vue, and Svelte to prevent leaks and duplicate event executions.
