tauriless-js

JS WASM bindings for tauriless, a Tauri-like cross-platform application framework. Unlike Tauri, tauriless does not require installation but doesn't support all the features of Tauri, is not a long-term solution, and is not a replacement for Tauri.

For more information, see the README of tauriless repository.

Adding as a dependency

Add tauriless-js as a dependency to your project:

npm install tauriless-js

If you use a bundler like Vite, also ensure that it can work with WASM by using vite-plugin-wasm with vite-plugin-top-level-await.

Example vite.config.ts

import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import wasm from "vite-plugin-wasm";
import topLevelAwait from "vite-plugin-top-level-await";

export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    wasm(),
    topLevelAwait()
  ]
})

Usage

import init, { invoke, encode } from "tauriless-js";

init().then(() => {
    console.log("tauriless-js initialized!");
    // encode allows you to see how the data is encoded before sending it to the Core process of `wry`
    const encoded = encode({ num: 42 });
    console.log("Result of tauriless_js.encode(): ", encoded);
    // invoke allows you to call a command in the Core process of `wry`.
    //
    // Whether the command is synchronous or asynchronous, it will return a Promise because
    // XHR with binary data must be asynchronous.
    //
    // When the command accepts multiple arguments, you pass a heterogeneous array rather than an object.
    // For example, invoke("do_stuff_with_num_and_str", [42, "hello"]);
    const v: Promise<unknown> = invoke("do_stuff_with_num", { num: 42 });
    v.then((result) => {
      console.log("Result of tauriless_js.invoke(): ", result);
    })
});

Want type-safe bindings specific to your commands?

Send an email to mailto:[email protected] and I will consider adding that to the library.
