@distromate/tauri

Build Tauri desktop apps through distromate with Tauri as the host build tool.

Install

npm install -D @distromate/cli @distromate/tauri @tauri-apps/cli

Usage

Point distromate.yaml at the builder plugin and keep Tauri-specific overrides in source.options:

source:
  type: adapter
  plugin: tauri
  options:
    projectDir: .
    target: x86_64-pc-windows-msvc
    tauriArgs:
      - --features
      - custom-protocol

publish:
  appId: "70253487"
  channel: stable

package:
  publisher: Demo Inc.

Run DistroMate directly:

distromate package -v 1.2.3
distromate publish -v 1.2.3

Installing @distromate/tauri adds the dm-plugin-tauri command. distromate no longer installs plugins for you.

Behavior

• runs tauri build --no-bundle
• stages the runtime layout that Tauri expects on the host platform under .distromate/work/
• derives app metadata, binary paths, icons, resources, and sidecars from Tauri config and Cargo metadata
• writes DistroMate package artifacts to the same native Tauri build directory unless outputDir is overridden
• returns prepared native source metadata plus inferred DistroMate defaults over JSON/stdio so distromate continues the package or publish flow

Notes

• host-native only: target OS and arch must match the current machine
• plugin-specific overrides go under source.options
• relative icon, extraFiles, extraResources, signing paths, outputDir, source.options.configPath, source.options.targetDir, and source.options.cliPath values resolve from the config file location
• Tauri's native updater and installer bundlers stay out of scope; DistroMate owns the final installer and update flow
