Tauri, a Rust-powered Electron alternative

[@DEBIEL918]

Great content! I really like that you explain it in really clear terms without assuming too much web background. Also you give a high level explanation of what Tauri is and how it should be used, rather than only a code example like many others. Thanks!

Been searching for basic videos on Tauri. This video helped me. Thanks!!!

i have written a super simple rust app that serves static html/js/css files that are bundled with it. it binds to a port in a way that allows only localhost-to-localhost, so it does not get the attention of windows firewall. i can make another exe that binds the same way and serves a rest api that does whatever it wants, and the static html pages can use that api. the HUGE advantage is that my static html/js/css pages work exactly the same way as they do on a real website. so i can just bundle my frontend with my backend with webview into a binary executable, WITH LITTLE OR NO CHANGE to the web app that runs on the internet. with tauri, i pretty much have to write the UI from scratch to use the tauri function calls instead of a rest api. with my dumb solution, i can use the same rest api that my web app uses. Now here is my question: why would i prefer tauri over this? I am not being flippant here; there is probably a good answer.

Great intro

where are you from bro?

[@godnyx117]

Will someone be able to use another complied language (like Go, D, C++ etc.) instead of Rust? I guess that one could create a library in the said language and then load it from the rust main file and then "wrap" the functions and objects to allow them to be called. Tauri looks awesome but my only problem is that I don't wanna use Rust.

[@InfoWorld]

Similar frameworks exist for other languages, which I'll be covering in future videos. Eel, for instance, lets you do the same thing with Python, and I believe similar solutions exist in Go, too. I also believe the Tauri project is looking at creating bindings for other languages in time. - Serdar

What a weird world right? I don't want to learn JavaScript and you don't want to learn or use Rust.

[@godnyx117]

@@TON-vz3pe Not weird at all. People have preferences, makes sense.
