Struct IpcClient 

pub struct IpcClient { /* private fields */ }

IPC client for communicating with the headless sidecar service.

Connects to the sidecar’s Unix domain socket and translates method calls into IpcRequest messages. Responses are decoded from IpcResponse frames.

Events from the sidecar (started/stopped/error) are read as IpcEvent frames and converted to PluginEvent for emission via the Tauri event system.

Implementations

impl IpcClient

pub async fn connect(path: PathBuf) -> Result<Self, ServiceError>

Connect to the sidecar’s IPC socket at the given path.

pub async fn start(&mut self, config: StartConfig) -> Result<(), ServiceError>

Send a Start command to the sidecar.

pub async fn stop(&mut self) -> Result<(), ServiceError>

Send a Stop command to the sidecar.

pub async fn is_running(&mut self) -> Result<bool, ServiceError>

Send an IsRunning query to the sidecar.

pub async fn get_state(&mut self) -> Result<ServiceStatus, ServiceError>

Query the current service lifecycle state.

pub async fn read_event(&mut self) -> Result<Option<IpcEvent>, ServiceError>

Read the next IpcEvent from the socket.

Returns None if the connection was closed.

pub fn listen_events<R: Runtime>(self, app: AppHandle<R>)

Spawn a background task that reads IpcEvent frames and emits PluginEvent via the given AppHandle.

The task runs until the socket is closed or an error occurs.
