Typesafe Tauri commands

Install

cargo add specta
cargo add tauri-specta --features javascript,typescript

Adding Specta to custom types

use specta::Type;
use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

// The `specta::Type` macro allows us to understand your types
// We implement `specta::Type` on primitive types for you.
// If you want to use a type from an external crate you may need to enable the feature on Specta.
#[derive(Serialize, Type)]
pub struct MyCustomReturnType {
    pub some_field: String,
}

#[derive(Deserialize, Type)]
pub struct MyCustomArgumentType {
    pub foo: String,
    pub bar: i32,
}

Annotate your Tauri commands with Specta

#[tauri::command]
#[specta::specta] // <-- This bit here
fn greet3() -> MyCustomReturnType {
    MyCustomReturnType {
        some_field: "Hello World".into(),
    }
}

#[tauri::command]
#[specta::specta] // <-- This bit here
fn greet(name: String) -> String {
  format!("Hello {name}!")
}

Export your bindings

use specta::collect_types;
use tauri_specta::{ts, js};

// this example exports your types on startup when in debug mode or in a unit test. You can do whatever.
fn main() {
    #[cfg(debug_assertions)]
    ts::export(collect_types![greet, greet2, greet3], "../src/bindings.ts").unwrap();

    // or export to JS with JSDoc
    #[cfg(debug_assertions)]
    js::export(collect_types![greet, greet2, greet3], "../src/bindings.js").unwrap();
}

#[test]
fn export_bindings() {
    ts::export(collect_types![greet, greet2, greet3], "../src/bindings.ts").unwrap();
    js::export(collect_types![greet, greet2, greet3], "../src/bindings.js").unwrap();
}

Usage on frontend

import * as commands from "./bindings"; // This should point to the file we export from Rust

await commands.greet("Brendan");
