SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Tauri projects often require careful coordination between the JavaScript side and the Rust backend. This skill guides you to keep the tauri crate, its plugins, and the @tauri-apps/api package aligned to prevent runtime and build-time inconsistencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version synchronization: ensure matching minor versions between npm/yarn/pnpm packages and Rust crates (tauri, tauri-build) to avoid feature drift.
  • Cross-language updates: guide updating both JavaScript dependencies and Rust crates with consistent steps.
  • Update workflow: practical commands for npm/yarn/pnpm and cargo to upgrade, check outdated versions, and validate compatibility.
  • Plugin parity: maintain identical versions for tauri plugins on the JavaScript and Rust sides to avoid plugin mismatches.

Quick Start

Run the update workflow to align Tauri dependencies for your project and validate with the respective package managers and cargo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I update Tauri dependencies across JavaScript and Rust?

To update Tauri dependencies, synchronize minor versions between npm/yarn/pnpm packages and the tauri Rust crate, edit Cargo.toml, run cargo update, and verify compatibility using npm outdated and cargo outdated.

Why do my Tauri plugin versions mismatch after updating npm packages?

Tauri plugin mismatches occur when JavaScript and Rust sides use different versions. Maintain identical plugin versions across npm packages and Cargo crates to prevent build-time inconsistencies and runtime feature drift.

What's the best way to synchronize Tauri versions between frontend and backend?

The best way to synchronize Tauri versions is to align the @tauri-apps/api package with the tauri-build crate, ensuring matching minor versions across your JavaScript frontend and Rust backend to avoid feature drift.

Do I need to run cargo update after changing Tauri dependencies in Cargo.toml?

Yes, you need to run cargo update after manually editing Tauri dependencies in Cargo.toml to apply the changes to the Rust backend and ensure compatibility with your JavaScript frontend packages.

Can I use pnpm and cargo to check for outdated Tauri versions?

Yes, you can use pnpm outdated and cargo outdated to check for outdated Tauri versions, validate current dependency compatibility, and identify available updates across your JavaScript and Rust project environments.

How does Tauri version synchronization prevent build-time inconsistencies?

Tauri version synchronization prevents build-time inconsistencies by ensuring the tauri crate, tauri-build, and @tauri-apps/api package share matching minor versions, eliminating feature drift between the Rust backend and JavaScript frontend.
