    "scripts": {
        "tauri": "cargo tauri dev"
    }
}

SvelteKit in SSG mode

$ pnpm add -D @sveltejs/adapter-static@next

Then update the adapter import in the svelte.config.js file:

change

import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-auto';

with

// This was changed from adapter-auto
import adapter from '@sveltejs/adapter-static';

Lastly, we need to disable SSR and enable prerendering by adding a root +layout.ts file (or +layout.js if you are not using TypeScript) with these contents:

src/routes/+layout.ts

export const prerender = true;
export const ssr = false;

Create the Rust Project

$ cargo install tauri-cli

To scaffold a minimal Rust project that is pre-configured to use Tauri, open a terminal and run the following command:

cargo tauri init will walk you through a series of questions:

What is your app name? This will be the name of your final bundle and what the OS will call your app. You can use any name you want here.

What should the window title be? This will be the title of the default main window. You can use any title you want here.

Where are your web assets (HTML/CSS/JS) located relative to the <current dir>/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json file that will be created? This is the path that Tauri will load your frontend assets from when building for production. Use ../build for this value.

What is the URL of your dev server? This can be either a URL or a file path that Tauri will load during development. Use http://localhost:5173 for this value.

What is your frontend dev command? This is the command used to start your frontend dev server. Use pnpm dev (be sure to adapt to use your package manager of choice).

What is your frontend build command? This is the command to build your frontend files. Use pnpm build (be sure to adapt to use your package manager of choice).

$ cargo tauri init

❯ cargo tauri init
✔ What is your app name? · svelte-kit-houdini-typescript-tauri-example
✔ What should the window title be? · sveltekit-houdini-typescript-tauri-example

Install Skeleton + Tailwind Css + Theme + Skeleton QuickStart

Tailwind CSS

$ pnpm add -D @skeletonlabs/skeleton
$ pnpm dlx svelte-add@latest tailwindcss

PostCSS
 ✅ successfully set up!
Create or find an existing issue at https://github.com/svelte-add/svelte-add/issues if this is wrong.

Tailwind CSS
 ✅ successfully set up!
Create or find an existing issue at https://github.com/svelte-add/svelte-add/issues if this is wrong.

$ pnpm i

devDependencies:
+ autoprefixer 10.4.13
+ postcss 8.4.21
+ postcss-load-config 4.0.1
+ svelte-preprocess 4.10.7 (5.0.1 is available)
+ tailwindcss 3.2.7

Then open your global stylesheet in /src/app.css and remove the following three @tailwind directives introduced by Svelte-Add. These will be redudant.

src/app.css

- @tailwind base;
- @tailwind components;
- @tailwind utilities;

leave src/app.css empty for now, we will use in later to tweak skeleton and other stuff

Apply these following three changes to your tailwind.config.cjs, found in the root of your project.

const config = {
    // apply the dark mode class setting:
    darkMode: 'class',
    content: [
        './src/**/*.{html,js,svelte,ts}',
        // append the path for the Skeleton NPM package and files:
        require('path').join(require.resolve('@skeletonlabs/skeleton'),
            '../**/*.{html,js,svelte,ts}')
    ],
    theme: {
        extend: {}
    },
    plugins: [
        // append the Skeleton plugin to the end of this list
        ...require('@skeletonlabs/skeleton/tailwind/skeleton.cjs')()
    ]
};

module.exports = config;

Stylesheets

Ensure the following stylesheets are added to your root layout in src/routes/+layout.svelte

Make sure each of these stylesheets are present and in the order shown.

<script>
  // skeleton: Make sure each of these stylesheets are present and in the order shown.
    // your selected Skeleton theme:
    import '@skeletonlabs/skeleton/themes/theme-crimson.css';
    // this contains the bulk of Skeletons required styles:
    import '@skeletonlabs/skeleton/styles/all.css';
    // finally, your application's global stylesheet (sometimes labeled 'app.css')
    import '../app.css';
</script>

<slot />

Themes

Select a theme, then copy the import statement into your root layout in /src/routes/+layout.svelte. Replace any existing theme.

we select crimson, ex @skeletonlabs/skeleton/themes/theme-${THEME}.css, where ${THEME} is the desired selected theme

import '@skeletonlabs/skeleton/themes/theme-crimson.css';

To enable bonus features (ex: fonts and backgrounds) for preset themes, apply the following attribute in app.html.

app.html

add data-theme="crimson into app.html body

<body data-sveltekit-preload-data="hover" data-theme="crimson">

test skeleton and tailwind

$ pnpm dev

Follow Skeleton Quickstart to add some Stuff to our App

add AppShell to +layout.svelte

+layout.svelte

<script>
  // skeleton: Make sure each of these stylesheets are present and in the order shown.
    // your selected Skeleton theme:
    import '@skeletonlabs/skeleton/themes/theme-crimson.css';
    // this contains the bulk of Skeletons required styles:
    import '@skeletonlabs/skeleton/styles/all.css';
    // finally, your application's global stylesheet (sometimes labeled 'app.css')
    import '../app.css';
    import { AppShell, AppBar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton';
</script>

<!-- App Shell -->
<AppShell>
    <svelte:fragment slot="header">
        <!-- App Bar -->
        <AppBar>
            <svelte:fragment slot="lead">
                <strong class="text-xl uppercase">Skeleton</strong>
            </svelte:fragment>
            <svelte:fragment slot="trail">
                <a
                    class="btn btn-sm variant-filled-primary"
                    href="https://discord.gg/EXqV7W8MtY"
                    target="_blank"

                </a>
            </svelte:fragment>
        </AppBar>
    </svelte:fragment>
    <!-- Page Route Content -->
    <slot />
</AppShell>

Add Sidebar Navigation

Let's customize our App Shell's sidebar slot. Open /src/routes/+layout.svelte and add the following Tailwind utility classes to the AppShell slotSidebarLeft prop.

AppShell

change

<AppShell>

to

<AppShell slotSidebarLeft="bg-surface-500/5 w-56 p-4">

Next, let's implement a navigation list within the App Shell's left sidebar slot. Append this slot fragement alongside any other fragment within the AppShell.

<svelte:fragment slot="sidebarLeft">
    <!-- Insert the list: -->
    <nav class="list-nav">
        <ul>
            <li><a href="/">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="/queries">Queries</a></li>
            <li><a href="/mutations">Mutations</a></li>
            <li><a href="/subscriptions">Subscriptions</a></li>
        </ul>
    </nav>
    <!-- --- -->
</svelte:fragment>

note: /queries, /mutations and /subscriptions routes will be configured in bellow sections

Layout Page Setup and Add a Component

Let's add some basic content to our homepage. Open /src/routes/+page.svelte and replace the contents with the following. This will provide multiple elements automatically styled by the all.css stylesheet in our root layout.

all.css is imported from @skeletonlabs/skeleton/styles/all.css

src/routes/+layout.svelte

<script lang="ts">
  import { Avatar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton';
    import { IconHeart } from '@tabler/icons-svelte';
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <h1>Hello Skeleton</h1>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur, adipisicing elit. Molestiae soluta maxime enim facilis id dolore nobis laborum asperiores qui tenetur deleniti vitae consectetur dignissimos quibusdam, at amet. Earum, vitae delectus!</p>
    <p>Lorem, ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Voluptatem, cumque consequatur. Debitis at maiores velit repellat! Odit aliquid alias voluptatum delectus? Voluptate inventore laudantium ab commodi alias quos ipsam adipisci.</p>
    <section>
        <a class="btn variant-filled-primary" href="https://kit.svelte.dev/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">SvelteKit</a>
        <a class="btn variant-filled-secondary" href="https://tailwindcss.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Tailwind</a>
        <a class="btn variant-filled-tertiary" href="https://github.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GitHub</a>
    </section>
  <Avatar src="https://i.pravatar.cc/" />
  <IconHeart size={48} stroke={1} />
</div>

Add a Component to HomePage

Finally let's implement Skeleton's Avatar component. First, import the component, then add it anywhere within your page, we recommend within the .container element.

src/routes/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    ...
  import { Avatar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton';
    ...
</script>
        ...
    </section>
  <Avatar src="https://i.pravatar.cc/" />
</div>

Add @tabler/icons-svelte and Add a Test Icon to HomePage

add @tabler/icons-svelte dependency

$ pnpm add @tabler/icons-svelte

add <IconHeart size={48} stroke={1} /> tabler icon to +page.svelte

src/routes/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    ...
    import { IconHeart } from '@tabler/icons-svelte';
    ...
</script>
    ...
  <Avatar src="https://i.pravatar.cc/" />
  <IconHeart size={48} stroke={1} />
</div>

Final HomePage +page.svelte

bellow is the full HomePage

src/routes/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
  import { Avatar } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton';
    import { IconHeart } from '@tabler/icons-svelte';
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <h1>Hello Skeleton</h1>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>
    <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>
    <section>
        <a class="btn variant-filled-primary" href="https://kit.svelte.dev/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">SvelteKit</a>
        <a class="btn variant-filled-secondary" href="https://tailwindcss.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">Tailwind</a>
        <a class="btn variant-filled-tertiary" href="https://github.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">GitHub</a>
    </section>
  <Avatar src="https://i.pravatar.cc/" />
  <IconHeart size={48} stroke={1} />
</div>

Tweak Skeleton Css

currently skeleton buttons and cards, have big rounded corners, let's tweak it in our app.css to have small rounded corners, and to test how skeleton styles override works

src/app.css

/* Write your global styles here, in PostCSS syntax */
:root {
    --theme-rounded-container: theme(borderRadius.md);
    --theme-rounded-base: theme(borderRadius.md);
}

Add No Selection to Css

to prevent user select text in tauri apps, in my opinion this is not a good desktop UX

add to bottom of app.css

src/app.css

body {
    /* iOS Safari */
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    /* Safari */
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    /* Konqueror HTML */
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    /* Firefox */
    -moz-user-select: none;
    /* Internet Explorer/Edge */
    -ms-user-select: none;
    /* Non-prefixed version, currently supported by Chrome and Opera */
    user-select: none;
}

Add LightSwitch to Layout +layout.svelte

add LightSwitch component to toggle from light to dark theme

src/routes/+layout.svelte

add LightSwitch, autoModeWatcher to existing skeleton imports

then add the following in your root layout template markup.

<svelte:head>{@html `<script>${autoModeWatcher.toString()} autoModeWatcher();</script>`}</svelte:head>
<script>
    ...
    // skeleton imports
    import { AppShell, AppBar, LightSwitch, autoModeWatcher } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton';
    ...
</script>

<svelte:head>{@html `<script>${autoModeWatcher.toString()} autoModeWatcher();</script>`}</svelte:head>
                    ...    
                    GitHub
                </a>
                <LightSwitch />
            </svelte:fragment>
        </AppBar>
        ...

awesome, now we have one <Avatar />, one <IconHeart /> and one test components, to assert that everything is working

Note: currently lightswitch don't work has expected, in my linux system, with OS define in dark, the lightswitch start in dark, but theme shows in light. If we toggle, it works as expected, only the initial start mode is not the correct, it should start in dark and not in light, the problem is in src/routes/+layout.ts in line export const ssr = false;, if we comment that line it start work has expected, but tauri recommend that we disable SSR

try to figure it out asap, if anyone know how to fix it, please tell me, really appreciate it

to temporary fix the problem we force the dark mode ate start adding setModeCurrent to imports and use setModeCurrent(false);

<script>
    ...
    // skeleton imports
    import { AppShell, AppBar, LightSwitch, autoModeWatcher, setModeCurrent } from '@skeletonlabs/skeleton';

    // force darkMode, until we find how to use autoModeWatcher with SSR disabled
    setModeCurrent(false);
    ...
</script>

Add Sidebar Navigation Routes

create bellow pages to be used with houdini demo

src/routes/queries/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <section>
    <h1>Queries</h1>
        <p>page stub</p>
    </section>
</div>

src/routes/mutations/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <section>
    <h1>Mutations</h1>
        <p>page stub</p>
    </section>
</div>

src/routes/subscriptions/+page.svelte

Subscriptions

page stub

above pnpm dlx houdini@latest init command, makes some black magic on our app, creates client, houdini config, types and many other good things

Tweak Houdini Config

we opted to don't use cache, for this we add defaultCachePolicy: 'NetworkOnly' in config, to define defaultCachePolicy globally to whole project

/// <references types="houdini-svelte">

/// docs https://houdinigraphql.com/api/config

/** @type {import('houdini').ConfigFile} */
const config = {
    watchSchema: {
        url: 'http://localhost:5001/graphql'
    },
    plugins: {
        'houdini-svelte': {}
    },
    defaultCachePolicy: 'NetworkOnly',
};

export default config;

Create Queries Page

to see how houdini simplify our lifes, let's populate our recent created pages, but first create BookCard component needed by queries page

src/components/BookCard.svelte

<script lang='ts'>
    import type { Book } from "$lib/types";

  export let book: Book;
</script>

<div class="card">
    <header class="card-header">{book.title}</header>
    <section class="p-4">
    <p>{book.description}</p>
    <p>author: {book.author}</p>
  </section>
    <footer class="card-footer">(footer)</footer>
</div>

now replace our queries

src/routes/queries/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    import type { PageData } from './$houdini';
    import { cache, graphql } from '$houdini';
    import { BookCard } from '../../components';

    export let data: PageData;

    $: ({ Books } = data);
    $: console.log(JSON.stringify($Books.data, undefined, 2));
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <section>
        <h1 class="mb-5">Queries</h1>
    </section>
    <main>
        <div class="grid sm:gap-4 sm:grid-cols-2 md:grid-cols-3 lg:grid-cols-4 xl:grid-cols-5 2xl:grid-cols-6">
            {#if $Books?.data?.books}
                {#each $Books.data.books as book}
                    {#if book}
                        <BookCard {book} />
                    {/if}
                {/each}
            {/if}
        </div>
    </main>
</div>

add graphql query

src/routes/queries/+page.gql

query Books {
    books {
        id
        title
        author
        image
        description
        price
    }
}

with that minimal changes, we have a server side rendering page with a houdini query working, without need to create a +page.server.ts, it simply works

run app and check results in http://localhost:5173/queries page, we should see the query result with tow cards

Add Faker and Create Mutations Page

add faker dependency

$ pnpm add @faker-js/faker

now create mutation +page.svelte with some minimal CRUD GraphQL operations to test Create, Update and Delete Book's

src/routes/mutations/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    import { graphql } from '$houdini';
    import { faker } from '@faker-js/faker';

    const createBook = graphql(`
        mutation CreateBook($input: BookInput!) {
            createBook(input: $input) {
                id
                title
                author
                image
                description
                price
            }
        }
    `);

    const updateBook = graphql(`
        mutation UpdateBook($id: ID!, $input: BookInput!) {
            updateBook(id: $id, input: $input) {
                id
                title
                author
                image
                description
                price
            }
        }
    `);

    const deleteBook = graphql(`
        mutation DeleteBook($id: ID!) {
            deleteBook(id: $id) {
                id
                title
                author
                image
                description
                price
            }
        }
    `);
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <section>
        <h1>Mutations</h1>
    </section>
    <main>

Create Subscriptions Page

change src/client.ts to

import { HoudiniClient, subscription } from '$houdini';

function sseSockets() {
  return {
    // eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
    subscribe(payload: any, handlers: any) {
      const url = new URL('/graphql', 'http://localhost:5001');
      url.searchParams.append('query', payload.query);
      url.searchParams.append('variables', JSON.stringify(payload.variables));

      const eventSource = new EventSource(url);
            console.log(`connect to ${url}`);

      eventSource.addEventListener('message', (ev) => handlers.next(JSON.parse(ev.data)));

      return () => eventSource.close();
    },
  }
}

export default new HoudiniClient({
  url: "http://localhost:5001/graphql",
  plugins: [
    subscription(sseSockets),
  ]
})

create subscriptions page +page.svelte

src/routes/subscriptions/+page.svelte

<script lang="ts">
    import { graphql } from '$houdini';

    // will start listening onMount (browser only)
    const updates = graphql(`
        subscription NewBooks {
            newBooks {
                title
                author
            }
        }
    `);

    $: updates.listen();
    $: console.log(`$updates.data: [${JSON.stringify($updates.data)}]`);
</script>

<div class="container mx-auto p-8 space-y-8">
    <section>
        <h1>Subscriptions</h1>
    </section>
    <main>
        <ul class="li">Last created book</ul>
        <ul class="li">title: {$updates?.data?.newBooks.title || 'none'}</ul>
        <ul class="li">author: {$updates?.data?.newBooks.author || 'none'}</ul>
    </main>
</div>
