Development

Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed: https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites

Install npm dependencies with

npm install

Then for developing

# terminal 1 (UI localhost for hot-reload)
npm run ui-dev

# terminal 2 (for the Rust/App hot-reload)
npm run tauri dev

Note On Windows instead of npm run ui-dev, you may need to run ./node_modules/.bin/rollup --config --watch and npm run localhost in two separate console windows

Tips

Note that you can adjust the behaviour of Tauri windows in tauri.conf.json, e.g.

"windows": [
  {
    "fullscreen": false,
    "resizable": true,
    "alwaysOnTop": true,
    "x": 1200,
    "y": 0,
    "height": 500,
    "width": 300,
    "title": "FlightCore"
  }
]

Building

Release builds are generally done via CI. To build locally, make sure typescript is compiled (./node_modules/.bin/rollup --config), then run npm run tauri build.

Setup

npm install

Run

# terminal 1 (UI localhost for hot-reload)
npm run ui-dev

# terminal 2 (for the Rust/App hot-reload)
npm run tauri dev

Database Pool as state

Rather to have a simple Mutex for the state, database can be used.

sqlx = { version = "0.6", features = [ "runtime-tokio-rustls", "postgres" ] }

let con_string = format!("postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost/postgres");
let db = PgPoolOptions::new()
    .max_connections(5)
    .connect(&con_string)
    .await
    .expect("Cannot create PgPool");

let arc_db = Arc::new(db);

Then

tauri::Builder::default()
    .manage(arc_db)
