How to use this skill

This skill is organized to match the Tauri official documentation structure (https://v2.tauri.org.cn/, https://v2.tauri.org.cn/start/, https://v2.tauri.org.cn/reference/cli/). When working with Tauri:

Identify the topic from the user's request:

• Installation/安装 → examples/start/installation.md

• Quick Start/快速开始 → examples/start/quick-start.md

• Guide/使用指南 → examples/guide/

• CLI/命令行 → examples/reference/cli.md

• API/API 文档 → api/

Load the appropriate example file from the examples/ directory:

Start (快速开始):

• examples/start/intro.md

• Introduction to Tauri

• examples/start/installation.md

• Installation guide

• examples/start/quick-start.md

• Quick start guide

• examples/start/prerequisites.md

• Prerequisites

Guide (使用指南):

• examples/guide/architecture.md

• Architecture

• examples/guide/frontend.md

Follow the specific instructions in that example file for syntax, structure, and best practices

Important Notes:

• Tauri uses Web frontend and Rust backend

• Frontend can be any web framework

• Backend is written in Rust

• Communication via commands and events

• Each example file includes key concepts, code examples, and key points

Reference API documentation in the api/ directory when needed:

• api/tauri-api.md

• Tauri API

• api/commands-api.md

• Commands API

• api/events-api.md

• Events API

• api/window-api.md

• Window API

• api/filesystem-api.md

• File system API

• api/config-api.md

• Configuration API

Use templates from the templates/ directory:

• templates/installation.md

• Installation templates

• templates/project-setup.md

• Project setup templates

• templates/configuration.md

• Configuration templates

1. Understanding Tauri

Tauri is a framework for building desktop applications using web frontend technologies and Rust backend.

Key Concepts:

• Frontend: Web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)

• Backend: Rust

• Commands: Frontend-backend communication

• Events: Event system

• Window: Window management

• File System: File operations

2. Installation

Prerequisites:

• Node.js

• Rust

• System dependencies

Using npm:

npm install @tauri-apps/cli

Using cargo:

cargo install tauri-cli

3. Basic Setup

Create Tauri project

npm create tauri-app

Or using cargo

cargo tauri init

Doc mapping (one-to-one with official documentation)

• examples/guide/ or examples/getting-started/ → https://v2.tauri.org.cn/start/

• api/ → https://v2.tauri.org.cn/reference/cli/

Examples and Templates

This skill includes detailed examples organized to match the official documentation structure. All examples are in the examples/ directory (see mapping above).

To use examples:

• Identify the topic from the user's request

• Load the appropriate example file from the mapping above

• Follow the instructions, syntax, and best practices in that file

• Adapt the code examples to your specific use case

To use templates:

• Reference templates in templates/ directory for common scaffolding

• Adapt templates to your specific needs and coding style

API Reference

Detailed API documentation is available in the api/ directory, organized to match the official Tauri API documentation structure:

Tauri API (api/tauri-api.md )

• Tauri core API

• API methods

• API types

Commands API (api/commands-api.md )

• Command definition

• Command invocation

• Command parameters

Events API (api/events-api.md )

• Event emission

• Event listening

• Event handling

Window API (api/window-api.md )

• Window creation

• Window management

• Window events

File System API (api/filesystem-api.md )

• File operations

• Directory operations

• Path operations

Configuration API (api/config-api.md )

• Configuration options

• Configuration file
