[feat] Able to set request headers for tauri downloader

[ghostdevv]

Describe the problem

Currently I am using this cloudflare worker to do the uploader endpoint, and it works perfectly. However tauri won't be able to actually download the files as they are on a private github repo

Describe the solution you'd like

Be able to provide custom headers into the tauri uploader config

Alternatives considered

Adding a proxy on that cloudflare worker

Additional context

Amazing thank you sm @lucasfernog ✨

Is there any documentation on how to use this?

[lucasfernog]

@ghostdevv add this to your Cargo.toml:

[patch.crates-io]
tauri = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri" }
tauri-build = { git = "https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri" }

You'll need to remove useBootstrapper field from your tauri.conf.json as the next release will remove that.

If you're using the Tauri CLI, you need to either build it from source or use Cargo directly.

• Using the Rust CLI it from source

cargo install --git https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri tauri-cli

cargo tauri dev
cargo tauri build

• Using the Node.js CLI from source

git clone https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
cd tauri/tooling/cli/node
yarn
yarn build

node /path/to/tauri/tooling/cli/node/tauri.js dev
node /path/to/tauri/tooling/cli/node/tauri.js build

• Using Cargo directly

cd src-tauri

cargo run --no-default-features # instead of tauri dev
cargo build # instead of tauri build - won't bundle your app though

If you're using the Tauri API, you might need to use the next version.

git clone https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri
cd tauri/tooling/api
yarn
yarn build

• Linking using yarn link:

cd dist
yarn link
cd /path/to/your/project
yarn link @tauri-apps/api

• Alternatively, you can change your package.json to use the folder as a dependency:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "@tauri-apps/api": "/path/to/tauri/tooling/api/dist"
  }
}

Awesome, but how do I use this new feature? 🤔

You'll need to manually run the updater:

fn main() {
  tauri::Builder::default().setup(|app| {
    let handle = app.handle();
    tauri::async_runtime::spawn(async move {
      match handle
        .updater()
        .header("your-header", "value")
        .unwrap()
        .check()
        .await
      {
        Ok(update) => {
          update.download_and_install().await; // TODO: handle possible error
        }
        Err(e) => {
          println!("ERROR: {}", e);
        }
      }
    });
    Ok(())
  });
}
