Struct tauri::plugin::Builder

pub struct Builder<R: Runtime, C: DeserializeOwned = ()> { /* private fields */ }

Builds a TauriPlugin.

This Builder offers a more concise way to construct Tauri plugins than implementing the Plugin trait directly.

Conventions

When using the Builder Pattern it is encouraged to export a function called init that constructs and returns the plugin. While plugin authors can provide every possible way to construct a plugin, sticking to the init function convention helps users to quickly identify the correct function to call.

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

pub fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .build()
}

When plugins expose more complex configuration options, it can be helpful to provide a Builder instead:

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder as PluginBuilder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

pub struct Builder {
  option_a: String,
  option_b: String,
  option_c: bool
}

impl Default for Builder {
  fn default() -> Self {
    Self {
      option_a: "foo".to_string(),
      option_b: "bar".to_string(),
      option_c: false
    }
  }
}

impl Builder {
  pub fn new() -> Self {
    Default::default()
  }

  pub fn option_a(mut self, option_a: String) -> Self {
    self.option_a = option_a;
    self
  }

  pub fn option_b(mut self, option_b: String) -> Self {
    self.option_b = option_b;
    self
  }

  pub fn option_c(mut self, option_c: bool) -> Self {
    self.option_c = option_c;
    self
  }

  pub fn build<R: Runtime>(self) -> TauriPlugin<R> {
    PluginBuilder::new("example")
      .setup(move |app_handle| {
        // use the options here to do stuff
        println!("a: {}, b: {}, c: {}", self.option_a, self.option_b, self.option_c);

        Ok(())
      })
      .build()
  }
}

Implementations

impl<R: Runtime, C: DeserializeOwned> Builder<R, C>

pub fn new(name: &'static str) -> Self

Creates a new Plugin builder.

pub fn invoke_handler<F>(self, invoke_handler: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: Fn(Invoke<R>) + Send + Sync + 'static,

Defines the JS message handler callback. It is recommended you use the tauri::generate_handler to generate the input to this method, as the input type is not considered stable yet.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

#[tauri::command]
async fn foobar<R: Runtime>(app: tauri::AppHandle<R>, window: tauri::Window<R>) -> Result<(), String> {
  println!("foobar");

  Ok(())
}

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![foobar])
    .build()
}

pub fn js_init_script(self, js_init_script: String) -> Self

Sets the provided JavaScript to be run after the global object has been created, but before the HTML document has been parsed and before any other script included by the HTML document is run.

Since it runs on all top-level document and child frame page navigations, it’s recommended to check the window.location to guard your script from running on unexpected origins.

The script is wrapped into its own context with (function () { /* your script here */ })();, so global variables must be assigned to window instead of implicity declared.

Note that calling this function multiple times overrides previous values.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

const INIT_SCRIPT: &str = r#"
  if (window.location.origin === 'https://tauri.app') {
    console.log("hello world from js init script");

    window.__MY_CUSTOM_PROPERTY__ = { foo: 'bar' };
  }
"#;

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .js_init_script(INIT_SCRIPT.to_string())
    .build()
}

pub fn setup<F>(self, setup: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: FnOnce(&AppHandle<R>) -> Result<()> + Send + 'static,

Define a closure that runs when the plugin is registered.

This is a convenience function around setup_with_config, without the need to specify a configuration object.

The closure gets called before the setup_with_config closure.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime, Manager};
use std::path::PathBuf;

#[derive(Debug, Default)]
struct PluginState {
   dir: Option<PathBuf>
}

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
Builder::new("example")
  .setup(|app_handle| {
    app_handle.manage(PluginState::default());

    Ok(())
  })
  .build()
}

pub fn setup_with_config<F>(self, setup_with_config: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: FnOnce(&AppHandle<R>, C) -> Result<()> + Send + 'static,

Define a closure that runs when the plugin is registered, accepting a configuration object set on tauri.conf.json > plugins > yourPluginName.

If your plugin is not pulling a configuration object from tauri.conf.json, use setup.

The closure gets called after the setup closure.

Examples

#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
struct Config {
  api_url: String,
}

fn init<R: tauri::Runtime>() -> tauri::plugin::TauriPlugin<R, Config> {
  tauri::plugin::Builder::<R, Config>::new("api")
    .setup_with_config(|_app_handle, config| {
      println!("config: {:?}", config.api_url);
      Ok(())
    })
    .build()
}

tauri::Builder::default().plugin(init());

pub fn on_page_load<F>(self, on_page_load: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: FnMut(Window<R>, PageLoadPayload) + Send + 'static,

Callback invoked when the webview performs a navigation to a page.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .on_page_load(|window, payload| {
      println!("Loaded URL {} in window {}", payload.url(), window.label());
    })
    .build()
}

pub fn on_webview_ready<F>(self, on_webview_ready: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: FnMut(Window<R>) + Send + 'static,

Callback invoked when the webview is created.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .on_webview_ready(|window| {
      println!("created window {}", window.label());
    })
    .build()
}

pub fn on_event<F>(self, on_event: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: FnMut(&AppHandle<R>, &RunEvent) + Send + 'static,

Callback invoked when the event loop receives a new event.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, RunEvent, Runtime};

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .on_event(|app_handle, event| {
      match event {
        RunEvent::ExitRequested { api, .. } => {
          // Prevents the app from exiting.
          // This will cause the core thread to continue running in the background even without any open windows.
          api.prevent_exit();
        }
        // Ignore all other cases.
        _ => {}
      }
    })
    .build()
}

pub fn on_drop<F>(self, on_drop: F) -> Selfwhere
    F: FnOnce(AppHandle<R>) + Send + 'static,

Callback invoked when the plugin is dropped.

Examples

use tauri::{plugin::{Builder, TauriPlugin}, Runtime};

fn init<R: Runtime>() -> TauriPlugin<R> {
  Builder::new("example")
    .on_drop(|app| {
      println!("plugin has been dropped and is no longer running");
      // you can run cleanup logic here
    })
    .build()
}

pub fn build(self) -> TauriPlugin<R, C>

Builds the TauriPlugin.
