What problem does it solve?

Tauri v2 development fails in confusing ways when commands are not registered, capabilities/permissions are missing, IPC is miswired, or build configuration (dev URLs, targets, Cargo settings) is inconsistent across desktop and mobile.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Rust command correctness (#[tauri::command]): Implement reliable request-response functions with proper handler registration and error handling.
  • IPC patterns for frontend-backend communication: Use invoke, events (emit/listen), and channels (streaming) with the right payload expectations.
  • Capabilities & permissions setup: Configure capabilities and permission identifiers so Tauri security gates don’t block required APIs or plugins.
  • Cross-platform build & deployment guidance: Align tauri.conf.json and Cargo.toml for desktop and mobile, including mobile Rust targets and shared lib structure.

Quick Start

Ask the AI: "Help me set up a Tauri v2 Rust command and call it from the frontend, including the required capabilities and a working tauri.conf.json devUrl for my setup."

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up Tauri v2 Rust commands and call them from the frontend?

Tauri v2 IPC invoke fails when Rust commands are not registered in tauri::generate_handler. You must implement functions with #[tauri::command], register them correctly, and ensure frontend invoke calls match the expected payload parameters for successful frontend-backend communication.

Why does my Tauri v2 app block API access or plugin execution?

Tauri v2 blocks APIs and plugins when capabilities and permissions are missing. You must configure permission identifiers in capability files like capabilities.json or default.json so Tauri security gates explicitly allow required APIs and plugin interactions.

What is the best way to configure tauri.conf.json for cross-platform desktop and mobile builds?

Configuring tauri.conf.json for cross-platform builds requires aligning the devUrl with your frontend development server and setting up Cargo.toml for mobile Rust targets. This ensures consistent shared library structure and build configuration across desktop and mobile deployments.

How do I use streaming channels and events for frontend-backend communication in Tauri v2?

Tauri v2 supports frontend-backend communication via IPC invoke, event emission and listening, and streaming channels. You configure these patterns by implementing the correct Rust command payloads, wiring the event listeners, and ensuring capabilities permit the required data flow.

Can I use Tauri v2 for both desktop and mobile deployment with the same Rust backend?

Yes, Tauri v2 supports both desktop and mobile workflows using a shared Rust library structure. You need to configure the appropriate mobile Rust targets in Cargo.toml and ensure tauri.conf.json matches the frontend dev URLs for each platform environment.
