Expand description
Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazing fast binaries for all major desktop platforms. Developers can integrate any front-end framework that compiles to HTML, JS and CSS for building their user interface. The backend of the application is a rust-sourced binary with an API that the front-end can interact with.
§Cargo features
The following are a list of Cargo features that can be enabled or disabled:
- wry (enabled by default): Enables the wry runtime. Only disable it if you want a custom runtime.
- common-controls-v6 (enabled by default): Enables Common Controls v6 support on Windows, mainly for the predefined
aboutmenu item. - x11 (enabled by default): Enables X11 support. Disable this if you only target Wayland.
- unstable: Enables unstable features. Be careful, it might introduce breaking changes in future minor releases.
- tracing: Enables
tracingfor window startup, plugins,Window::eval, events, IPC, updater and custom protocol request handlers. - test: Enables the
testmodule exposing unit test helpers. - objc-exception: This feature flag is no-op since 2.3.0.
- linux-libxdo: Enables linking to libxdo which enables Cut, Copy, Paste and SelectAll menu items to work on Linux.
- isolation: Enables the isolation pattern. Enabled by default if the
app > security > pattern > useconfig option is set toisolationon thetauri.conf.jsonfile. - custom-protocol: Feature managed by the Tauri CLI. When enabled, Tauri assumes a production environment instead of a development one.
- devtools: Enables the developer tools (Web inspector) and
window::Window. Enabled by default on debug builds. On macOS it uses private APIs, so you can’t enable it if your app will be published to the App Store. - native-tls: Provides TLS support to connect over HTTPS.
- native-tls-vendored: Compile and statically link to a vendored copy of OpenSSL.
- rustls-tls: Provides TLS support to connect over HTTPS using rustls.
- process-relaunch-dangerous-allow-symlink-macos: Allows the
process::current_binaryfunction to allow symlinks on macOS (this is dangerous, see the Security section in the documentation website). - tray-icon: Enables application tray icon APIs. Enabled by default if the
trayIconconfig is defined on thetauri.conf.jsonfile. - macos-private-api: Enables features only available in macOS’s private APIs, currently the
transparentwindow functionality and thefullScreenEnabledpreference setting totrue. Enabled by default if thetauri > macosPrivateApiconfig flag is set totrueon thetauri.conf.jsonfile. - webview-data-url: Enables usage of data URLs on the webview.
- compression *(enabled by default): Enables asset compression. You should only disable this if you want faster compile times in release builds - it produces larger binaries.
- config-json5: Adds support to JSON5 format for
tauri.conf.json. - config-toml: Adds support to TOML format for the configuration
Tauri.toml. - image-ico: Adds support to parse
.icoimage, see [Image]. - image-png: Adds support to parse
.pngimage, see [Image]. - macos-proxy: Adds support for
WebviewBuilder::proxy_urlon macOS. Requires macOS 14+. - specta: Add support for
specta::spectawith Tauri arguments such asState,WindowandAppHandle - dynamic-acl (enabled by default): Enables you to add ACLs at runtime, notably it enables the [
Manager::add_capability] function.
§Cargo allowlist features
The following are a list of Cargo features that enables commands for Tauri’s API package.
These features are automatically enabled by the Tauri CLI based on the allowlist configuration under tauri.conf.json.
§Protocol allowlist
- protocol-asset: Enables the
assetcustom protocol.
