template-tauri

A Tauri 2.0 + SvelteKit project template.

Structure

src/            — SvelteKit frontend
src-tauri/      — Rust backend (minimal — OS access, IPC only)

Setup

# Install JS dependencies
bun install

# Install Rust (if not already)
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

# Copy env file
cp .env.example .env

# Start dev
bun run dev

Scripts

Command	Description
bun run dev	Start Tauri dev window
bun run build	Build production app
bun run check	tsc + knip + eslint + bun audit
bun run test	Vitest with coverage
bun run ci	check + test (same as CI)

Architecture

• Frontend (src/) — SvelteKit with adapter-static. All UI and business logic lives here.
• Rust backend (src-tauri/) — Minimal. Use Tauri commands only for OS-level access, file system operations, and IPC. Business logic stays in TypeScript.

Gotchas

• adapter-static is required for Tauri — do not swap to adapter-node.
• All Tauri commands must have explicit typed payloads on both the Rust and TypeScript sides.
• target/ (Rust build output) is gitignored — first build will take a while.
• Secrets in .env — never commit it. See .env.example.
• Run bun outdated before starting new feature work; commit dep updates separately.
