This is a crate provides a custom invoke system for Tauri using a localhost JSON RPC WebSocket. Each message is delivered through Websocket using JSON RPC 2.0 specification.
With the advantage of using websocket, tauri-awesome-rpc also provides an event API. With AwesomeEmit you can emit event from the Rust backend and AwesomeEvent to listen to the event on the frontend.
First, add the dependency to your src-tauri/Cargo.toml file:
[dependencies]
tauri-awesome-rpc = { git = "https://github.com/ahkohd/tauri-awesome-rpc", branch = "dev" }
Then, setup the Websocket JSON RPC invoke system on the main.rs file:
use tauri::{Manager, Window, Wry};
use tauri_awesome_rpc::{AwesomeEmit, AwesomeRpc};
use serde_json::json;
fn main() {
#[cfg(dev)]
let allowed_domain = {
let config: tauri_utils::config::Config = serde_json::from_value(
tauri_utils::config::parse::read_from(std::env::current_dir().unwrap()).unwrap(),
)
.unwrap();
config.build.dev_path.to_string()
};
#[cfg(not(dev))]
let allowed_domain = "tauri://localhost".to_string();
let awesome_rpc = AwesomeRpc::new(vec![&allowed_domain]);
tauri::Builder::default()
.invoke_system(awesome_rpc.initialization_script(), AwesomeRpc::responder())
.setup(move |app| {
awesome_rpc.start(app.handle());
Ok(())
})
.invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![test_command, report_time_elapsed])
.run(tauri::generate_context!())
.expect("error while running tauri application")
}
#[tauri::command]
fn test_command(args: u64) -> Result<String, ()> {
println!("executed command with args {:?}", args);
Ok("executed".into())
}
#[tauri::command]
fn report_time_elapsed(window: Window<Wry>) {
tauri::async_runtime::spawn(async move {
let mut interval = tokio::time::interval(tokio::time::Duration::from_millis(250));
let start_time = std::time::Instant::now();
loop {
interval.tick().await;
// emit an awesome event to the main window
window
.state::<AwesomeEmit>()
.emit("main", "time_elapsed", json!(start_time.elapsed()));
}
});
}Then, on the frontend:
<html>
<body>
<div>
<h1>tauri-awesome-rpc</h1>
<h5>invoke test</h5>
<div id="response"></div>
<h5>AwesomeEvent.listen test</h5>
<div id="time_elapsed"></div>
</div>
<script type="module" src="/src/main.ts"></script>
</body>
</html>- Use your Tauri
invokemethod as usual. - Use
window.AwesomeEventto listen to the events emitted usingAwesomeEmitfrom the Rust backend.
import { invoke } from "@tauri-apps/api/tauri";
const response = document.getElementById("response") as HTMLDivElement;
const timeElapsed = document.getElementById("time_elapsed") as HTMLDivElement;
invoke("test_command", { args: 5 })
.then((data) => {
response.innerText = data as string;
})
.catch(console.error);
invoke("report_time_elapsed");
const _unsubscribe = window.AwesomeEvent.listen("time_elapsed", (data) => {
timeElapsed.innerText = JSON.stringify(data);
});Add the following type definition to your project's global.d.ts file:
interface Window {
AwesomeEvent: {
listen(eventName: string, callback: (data) => void): () => void;
};
}
