Tauri Svelte Template

Goal

Completely separate the actual Tauri structure from the Front-end (here svelte but can be any front end).
Also only depends on Cargo and not npm on Tauri's side.

Steps for an existing project

If you only want to figure how to quickly do it on your own project :
- uninstall @tauri-apps/cli from node modules and install tauri-cli with cargo instead
- move the tauri-src (and rename if you want) on the same level as your previous root folder.
- modify the tauri.conf.json, here I used svelte as the front folder name. Like so :

"build": {
    "beforeBuildCommand": "cd ./svelte && npm run build",
    "beforeDevCommand": "cd ./svelte && npm run dev",
    "devPath": "http://localhost:5173",
    "distDir": "../svelte/build/"
},

Before

.
└── MyProject /
  ├── node_modules
  ├── src
  ├── src-tauri
  └── ...and so on

After

.
└── MyProject/
  ├── svelte/ (or any fitting name, but change accordingly in tauri.conf.json)
  │  ├── node_modules
  │  ├── src
  │  └── ...and so on
  └── tauri/ (was tauri-src)
     ├── src
     ├── tauri.conf.json
     └── ...and so on

Steps for a project cloned from this repo

Prerequisites

• See : https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites
  • Rust
  • Node v16.14+

Steps

• cargo install tauri-cli
• npm install inside the front-end directory
• You must change the tauri -> bundle -> identifier inside tauri.config.json.
• now you can run either cargo tauri dev or cargo tauri build from the tauri folder
