core

Invoke your custom commands.

This package is also accessible with window.__TAURIFY__.core.

Parameter	Type
`onmessage`?	(`response`) => `void`

Property	Type	Description	Defined in
`id`	`number`	The callback id returned from `transformCallback`

Parameter	Type
`response`	`T`

Parameter	Type
`handler`	(`response`) => `void`

Property	Type	Defined in
`channelId`	`number`
`event`	`string`
`plugin`	`string`

The resource lives in the main process and does not exist in the Javascript world, and thus will not be cleaned up automatiacally except on application exit. If you want to clean it up early, call Resource.close

Example

import { Resource, invoke } from '@crabnebula/taurify-api/core';
export class DatabaseHandle extends Resource {
  static async open(path: string): Promise<DatabaseHandle> {
    const rid: number = await invoke('open_db', { path });
    return new DatabaseHandle(rid);
  }

  async execute(sql: string): Promise<void> {
    await invoke('execute_sql', { rid: this.rid, sql });
  }
}

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`rid`	`number`

Returns

Resource

Accessors

rid

Get Signature

get rid(): number

Returns

number

Methods

close()

close(): Promise<void>

Destroys and cleans up this resource from memory. You should not call any method on this object anymore and should drop any reference to it.

Returns

Promise<void>

Type Aliases

InvokeArgs

type InvokeArgs: Record<string, unknown> | number[] | ArrayBuffer | Uint8Array;

Command arguments.

PermissionState

type PermissionState: "granted" | "denied" | "prompt" | "prompt-with-rationale";

Variables

SERIALIZE_TO_IPC_FN

const SERIALIZE_TO_IPC_FN: "__TAURI_TO_IPC_KEY__" = '__TAURI_TO_IPC_KEY__';

A key to be used to implement a special function on your types that define how your type should be serialized when passing across the IPC.

Example

Given a type in Rust that looks like this

#[derive(serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)
enum UserId {
  String(String),
  Number(u32),
}

UserId::String("id") would be serialized into { String: "id" } and so we need to pass the same structure back to Rust

import { SERIALIZE_TO_IPC_FN } from "@crabnebula/taurify-api/core"

class UserIdString {
  id
  constructor(id) {
    this.id = id
  }

  [SERIALIZE_TO_IPC_FN]() {
    return { String: this.id }
  }
}

class UserIdNumber {
  id
  constructor(id) {
    this.id = id
  }

  [SERIALIZE_TO_IPC_FN]() {
    return { Number: this.id }
  }
}

type UserId = UserIdString | UserIdNumber

Functions

addPluginListener()

function addPluginListener<T>(
   plugin,
   event,
cb): Promise<PluginListener>

Adds a listener to a plugin event.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
`T`

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`plugin`	`string`
`event`	`string`
`cb`	(`payload`) => `void`

Returns

Promise<PluginListener>

The listener object to stop listening to the events.

checkPermissions()

function checkPermissions<T>(plugin): Promise<T>

Get permission state for a plugin.

This should be used by plugin authors to wrap their actual implementation.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
`T`

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`plugin`	`string`

Returns

Promise<T>

convertFileSrc()

function convertFileSrc(filePath, protocol): string

Convert a device file path to an URL that can be loaded by the webview. Note that asset: and http://asset.localhost must be added to app.security.csp in tauri.conf.json. Example CSP value: "csp": "default-src 'self' ipc: http://ipc.localhost; img-src 'self' asset: http://asset.localhost" to use the asset protocol on image sources.

Additionally, "enable" : "true" must be added to app.security.assetProtocol in tauri.conf.json and its access scope must be defined on the scope array on the same assetProtocol object.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value	Description
`filePath`	`string`	`undefined`	The file path.
`protocol`	`string`	`'asset'`	The protocol to use. Defaults to `asset`. You only need to set this when using a custom protocol.

Returns

string

the URL that can be used as source on the webview.

Example

import { appDataDir, join } from '@crabnebula/taurify-api/path';
import { convertFileSrc } from '@crabnebula/taurify-api/core';
const appDataDirPath = await appDataDir();
const filePath = await join(appDataDirPath, 'assets/video.mp4');
const assetUrl = convertFileSrc(filePath);

const video = document.getElementById('my-video');
const source = document.createElement('source');
source.type = 'video/mp4';
source.src = assetUrl;
video.appendChild(source);
video.load();

invoke()

function invoke<T>(
   cmd,
   args,
options?): Promise<T>

Sends a message to the backend.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
`T`

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
`cmd`	`string`	The command name.
`args`	`InvokeArgs`	The optional arguments to pass to the command.
`options`?	`InvokeOptions`	The request options.

Returns

Promise<T>

A promise resolving or rejecting to the backend response.

Example

import { invoke } from '@crabnebula/taurify-api/core';
await invoke('login', { user: 'tauri', password: 'poiwe3h4r5ip3yrhtew9ty' });

isTauri()

function isTauri(): boolean

Returns

boolean

requestPermissions()

function requestPermissions<T>(plugin): Promise<T>

Request permissions.

This should be used by plugin authors to wrap their actual implementation.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter
`T`

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`plugin`	`string`

Returns

Promise<T>

transformCallback()

function transformCallback<T>(callback?, once?): number

Stores the callback in a known location, and returns an identifier that can be passed to the backend. The backend uses the identifier to eval() the callback.

Type Parameters

Type Parameter	Default type
`T`	`unknown`

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default value
`callback`?	(`response`) => `void`	`undefined`
`once`?	`boolean`	`false`

Returns

number

An unique identifier associated with the callback function.
