Tauri 2 documentation guide

Overview

Tauri builds desktop and mobile apps from a Rust core and a web frontend rendered by the system webview (WebView2 on Windows, WKWebView on macOS and iOS, WebKitGTK on Linux). This skill condenses the official Tauri 2 guides into pitfalls, surprising defaults, recommended patterns and Tauri 1 replacements. Every claim below and in the reference files ends with the URL of the page it comes from, so it can be checked.

Version covered

Tauri 2.x, as documented at https://v2.tauri.app/. The docs are not versioned beyond major 2. Where a feature needs a specific minor (for example removeUnusedCommands or event mocking), the reference file says so. Generated API, config and CLI reference pages are not covered: check them on the site for exact signatures.

How to navigate

  1. Read the quick start below: it holds the rules that cause most failures.
  2. Open only the reference file for the task, from the table at the end.
  3. Each reference file is self-contained and starts with its contents list.
  4. To verify a claim, open the URL that follows it.
