Tauri + SvelteKit + TypeScript Application Template

This repository serves as a modern template for developing cross-platform desktop applications. It combines Tauri, SvelteKit, and TypeScript to streamline your workflow and deliver an optimized user experience.

Tech Stack

Core Frameworks

• Tauri 2.0: Secure, lightweight, and cross-platform desktop application framework powered by web technologies.
• SvelteKit 2.x: Cutting-edge meta-framework for building fast and reactive frontends.
• TypeScript: Type-safe extension of JavaScript for scalable application development.

UI & Styling

• TailwindCSS 4.x: Utility-first CSS framework for efficient and responsive UIs.
• DaisyUI: Customizable UI component library based on TailwindCSS.

Development Tools

• Vite: Lightning-fast frontend build tool for instant feedback.
• ESLint 9.x: Code linting to maintain quality and consistency.
• Prettier: Automated code formatting for a unified codebase.
• Husky & lint-staged: Git hooks for automatic linting and formatting before commits.

Project Structure

This template is optimized for a seamless integration between Tauri and SvelteKit, using @sveltejs/adapter-static for static site generation. The frontend is powered by SvelteKit, while you can access native capabilities through Tauri’s secure Rust backend.

Scripts

• pnpm dev: Start the Vite development server.
• pnpm build: Build the application for production.
• pnpm preview: Preview the built application locally.
• pnpm check: Sync SvelteKit and run TypeScript type checks.
• pnpm tauri: Run Tauri CLI commands (development, build, etc.).
• pnpm lint: Lint your codebase with ESLint and check formatting with Prettier.
• pnpm format: Automatically format code using Prettier.
• pnpm prepare: Set up Husky Git hooks.

Key Dependencies

Production

• @tauri-apps/api: Tauri JavaScript APIs for native integration.
• @tauri-apps/plugin-opener: Plugin for opening files and URLs with the default system handler.
• tailwindcss: Utility-first CSS framework for styling.

Development

• ESLint and Prettier ecosystem.
• Svelte and TypeScript toolchain.
• Code quality automation tools (Prettier, Husky, lint-staged).

Getting Started
