Frequently Asked Questions about tauri-v2

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up IPC between a web frontend and a Rust backend in a Tauri v2 app?

Tauri v2 IPC configuration connects web frontends and Rust backends using invoke, events, and channels. You expose Rust functions via #[tauri::command] and call them from the frontend using the @tauri-apps/api package.

What's the best way to build cross-platform desktop and mobile apps with a Rust backend?

Building cross-platform desktop and mobile apps with a Rust backend uses Tauri v2 to wrap web frontends in a native webview. It supports deploying to macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android from a single codebase.

How do I configure security capabilities and permissions for Tauri plugins?

Configuring security capabilities and permissions in Tauri involves defining access rights in the security configuration files. This restricts plugin and API exposure so frontends can only invoke explicitly permitted Rust backend commands.

Does Tauri v2 support Vite and TanStack Router for frontend integration?

Tauri v2 supports frontend integration with Vite and TanStack Router. You configure the web frontend normally and connect it to the Rust backend using IPC calls provided by the @tauri-apps/api package.

How do I handle errors in Rust commands exposed to the Tauri webview?

Error handling in Rust commands exposed to the Tauri webview requires returning Result types from your #[tauri::command] functions. Errors are automatically serialized and sent back to the frontend IPC call.

How do I configure tauri.conf.json and Cargo.toml for cross-platform builds?

Configuring tauri.conf.json and Cargo.toml for cross-platform builds involves defining application metadata, plugin dependencies, and platform-specific settings. Tauri uses these files to bundle the Rust backend and webview frontend for desktop and mobile deployment.
