Tauri v2 + Next.js Monorepo

This repository contains the source code of the blog post Tauri v2 with Next.js: A Monorepo Guide. It demonstrates how to build a cross-platform application using Tauri v2 for desktop and mobile apps, and Next.js for web services.

Features

• Next.js for web and API services.
• Tauri v2 for building lightweight and performant native desktop and mobile apps.
• Monorepo setup powered by TurboRepo.
• Shared components built with TailwindCSS, Shadcn, and Lucide for a consistent UI across platforms.
• Reusable backend API using Next.js API routes.
• Cross-platform deployment for Web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools are installed:

• Node.js (v22+)
• pnpm (v8+)
• Rust (Install Rust)
• Xcode (for iOS development) (Optional)
• Android Studio (for Android development) (Optional)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Arbarwings/tauri-v2-nextjs-monorepo.git
   cd tauri-v2-nextjs-monorepo

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

Running the Apps

Web (Next.js):

pnpm --filter web dev

Desktop (Tauri):

pnpm --filter native dev

Mobile (iOS/Android via Tauri):

Refer to the Tauri Mobile Guide for additional setup.

Shared Components

The packages/ui directory contains shared UI components, hooks, and utilities built with:

• TailwindCSS
• Shadcn
• Lucide Icons

These components ensure consistency across web, desktop, and mobile platforms.

API Endpoints

The backend API for text analysis is powered by Next.js API routes. The main endpoint is:

• POST /api/text-analysis

  • Request body: { "text": "Your text here" }

  • Response:

    {
      "success": true,
      "data": {
        "id": "unique-id",
        "timestamp": "2025-01-27T12:00:00Z",
        "analysis": {
          "wordCount": 100,
          "charCount": 500,
          "mostFrequentWord": "example",
          "sentimentScore": 1.5
        }
      }
    }
