## Introduction
Tauri is a framework for building tiny, blazing fast binaries for all major desktop platforms. Developers can integrate any front-end framework that compiles to HTML, JS and CSS for building their user interface. The backend of the application is a rust-sourced binary with an API that the front-end can interact with.
2021-04-25 19:15:05 +03:00
The user interface in Tauri apps currently leverages [`winit` ](https://docs.rs/winit ) as a window handling library on macOS and Windows, and [`gtk` ](https://gtk-rs.org/docs/gtk/ ) on Linux via the **Tauri-team** incubated and maintained [WRY ](https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry ), which creates a unified interface to the system webview, leveraging WebKit on macOS, WebView2 on Windows and WebKitGTK on Linux.
2020-05-22 18:40:32 +03:00

2020-05-22 18:40:32 +03:00
## Development
Tauri is a system composed of a number of moving pieces:
### Infrastructure
- git for code management
- github for project management
- github actions for CI and CD
- discord for discussions
- netlify-hosted documentation website
2021-04-25 19:15:05 +03:00
- digital ocean meilisearch instance
2020-05-22 18:40:32 +03:00
### Major Runtimes
- node.js for running the CLI (deno and pure rust are on the roadmap)
- cargo for testing, running the dev service, building binaries and as the runtime harness for the webview
### Major Languages
2021-04-25 19:15:05 +03:00
- Rust for the CLI
- EcmaScript bindings to the Rust API, written in typescript
- Rust for bindings, rust side of the API, harnesses
- Rust plugins to Tauri backend
2020-05-22 18:40:32 +03:00
### Operating systems
Tauri core can be developed on Mac, Linux and Windows, but you are encouraged to use the latest possible operating systems and build tools for your OS.
### Contribution Flow
Before you start working on something, it is best to check if there is an existing issue first. Also it is a good idea to stop by the Discord guild and confirm with the team if it makes sense or if someone is already working on it. If you want to read more about this, please see [this page ](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/.github/CONTRIBUTING.md ).
### Documentation
Documentation in a polyglot system is a tricky proposition. To this end, we prefer to use inline documentation of Rust code and at JSDoc in typescript / javascript code. We autocollect these and publish them using Docusaurus v2 and netlify. Here is the hosting repository for the documentation site: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri-docs
### Testing & Linting
Test all the things! We have a number of test suites, but are always looking to improve our coverage:
- Rust (`cargo test`) => sourced via inline `#[cfg(test)]` declarations
- TS (`jest`) => via spec files
2020-07-06 02:00:49 +03:00
- Smoke Tests (run on merges to latest)
2020-05-22 18:40:32 +03:00
- eslint, clippy
### CI/CD
We recommend you read this article to understand better how we run our pipelines: https://www.jacobbolda.com/setting-up-ci-and-cd-for-tauri/
