NUXTOR

A spiritual successor of ViTauri, made with Nuxt 3 and Tauri 2
Build super fast desktop applications!

⚠️ nuxtor is still a WIP

Powered by Nuxt 3

Technologies run-down

• Nuxt 3
• Tauri 2
• UnoCSS
• Typescript
• ESLint
• Auto imports (for Tauri api too!)

Functionalities

• Run shell commands from the app
• Send custom notifications to the client
• Display OS related informations
• Support catch-all route

Setup

• This project enforces pnpm. In order to use another package manager you need to update package.json and tauri.config.js
• Before running this app, you need to configure your environment with Rust. Take a look at the Tauri docs.
• The frontend runs on the usual port 3000 of Nuxt, the Tauri server uses the port 3001. This settings are customizable in the nuxt.config.ts and tauri.config.js.
• Once ready, follow these commands:

# use this template
$ npx degit NicolaSpadari/nuxtor my-nuxtor-app

# go into the folder
$ cd my-nuxtor-app

# install dependencies
$ pnpm install

# start the project
$ pnpm run tauri:dev

This will run the Nuxt frontend and will launch the Tauri window.

Build

$ pnpm run tauri:build

This command will generate the Nuxt static output and bundle the project under src-tauri/target.

Notes

• As the documentation shows, the Nuxt SSr must be disabled in order for Tauri to act as the backend. Still, all Nuxt capabilities are still here.
• Tauri v2 is still in beta. Some things might not work, or present some bugs.
• Tauri v2 brings some big refactors, such as packages names and permission management. New permissions have to be granted under src-tauri/capabilities/main.json
• Tauri js functions are auto imported as-is with the help of a custom module. If another Tauri plugin is added, then the module has to be updated to support auto imports under src/modules/tauri.ts
