Tauri
Tauri allows building desktop (and now mobile in v2.0) apps using web technologies. It differs from Electron by using the OS Native Webview (WebView2 on Windows, WebKit on macOS/Linux).
When to Use
- Small Binaries: Installers are ~3MB (vs 100MB+ for Electron).
- Security: Strict isolation and permission system.
- Rust Backend: If you need high-performance background logic.
Core Concepts
Frontend Agnostic
Use Svelte, React, Vue, or vanilla JS.
Commands (IPC)
Interact with Rust backend: invoke('my_command').
Config (tauri.conf.json)
Defines permissions, windows, and bundling settings.
Best Practices (2025)
Do:
- Use v2.0 Mobile: Target iOS/Android from the same codebase.
- Use Commands: Don't run heavy logic in JS. Offload to Rust.
Don't:
- Don't assume Chrome: You are running on Safari (macOS) or Edge (Windows). Test cross-platform.
