API example
This example demonstrates Tauri's API capabilities using the plugins from this repository. It's used as the main validation app, serving as the testbed of our development process. In the future, this app will be used on Tauri's integration tests.
Running the example
- Install dependencies and build packages (Run inside of the repository root)
$ pnpm install
$ pnpm build
- Run the app in development mode (Run inside of this folder
examples/api/)
$ pnpm tauri dev
- Build an run the release app (Run inside of this folder
examples/api/)
$ pnpm tauri build
$ ./src-tauri/target/release/app
Running on the CEF runtime
The webview runtime is selected at build time by the wry (default) and cef
features of the example, which pick the tauri-runtime-wry or
tauri-runtime-cef dependency handed to tauri::Builder::runtime. Depending on
tauri-runtime-cef is also how the Tauri CLI detects a CEF app, which is what
makes it ship the CEF binary distribution and, on macOS, run the app from inside
an .app bundle in tauri dev:
$ pnpm tauri dev --no-default-features --features cef
The first build downloads the CEF binary distribution (about 1 GB) into
{user cache}/tauri-cef, or into $CEF_PATH when that is set. The tray icon is
not set up on CEF, which has no tray integration.
