tauri-ui

Tauri UI is a collection of user interface components and templates for Tauri applications. It provides a set of pre-built, customizable UI elements that can be easily integrated into Tauri projects, helping developers create attractive and functional desktop applications using web technologies.

Pros

• Offers a variety of ready-to-use UI components specifically designed for Tauri applications
• Helps streamline the development process by providing pre-built templates and layouts
• Supports customization and theming to match specific application designs
• Integrates well with Tauri's ecosystem and best practices

Cons

• Limited documentation and examples compared to more established UI libraries
• May have a steeper learning curve for developers new to Tauri or web-based desktop applications
• Potential for inconsistencies or bugs due to the project's relatively young age
• Smaller community and ecosystem compared to more popular UI frameworks

Code Examples

1. Creating a basic button component:

#[derive(Clone, serde::Serialize)]
struct Payload {
    message: String,
}

#[tauri::command]
fn greet(name: &str) -> Payload {
    Payload {
        message: format!("Hello, {}! You've been greeted from Rust!", name),
    }
}

fn main() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![greet])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

2. Implementing a simple dialog:

import { dialog } from '@tauri-apps/api';

async function showDialog() {
  const result = await dialog.confirm('Are you sure?', 'Confirmation');
  if (result) {
    console.log('User confirmed');
  } else {
    console.log('User cancelled');
  }
}

3. Creating a custom window:

import { WebviewWindow } from '@tauri-apps/api/window';

const webview = new WebviewWindow('my-window', {
  url: 'path/to/page.html',
  title: 'My Custom Window',
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  resizable: true,
});

webview.once('tauri://created', function () {
  console.log('Window created');
});

Getting Started

To get started with Tauri UI, follow these steps:

1. Install Tauri CLI:

npm install -g @tauri-apps/cli

2. Create a new Tauri project:

npm init tauri-app my-tauri-ui-app
cd my-tauri-ui-app

3. Install Tauri UI components:

npm install @tauri-ui/components

4. Import and use Tauri UI components in your application:

import { Button } from '@tauri-ui/components';

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>My Tauri UI App</h1>
      <Button onClick={() => console.log('Button clicked')}>
        Click me!
      </Button>
    </div>
  );
}
