Modern Desktop App Template

Tauri and React boilerplate for a modern desktop application. Not a project nor a substitute tutorial for my video tutorials. I didn’t use yew (wasm) since its component libraries are not to the calibre of existing React component libraries.

Instructions

1. Install Tauri prerequisites
2. Download or Clone this repository git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/elibroftw/modern-desktop-app-template.git new-app
3. Go into new-app
4. Run yarn to install packages
5. While yarn is working,
   • Edit src-tauri/tauri.conf.json's productName, identifier, title
   • Edit src/App.jsx's HEADER_TITLE, FOOTER
   • Remove the .git folder
   • Edit SAMPLE_README.md and replace README.md
   • Delete or replace LICENSE.md since this template is public domain
6. Run yarn dev to start developing
7. Read Tips and Trouble Shooting section of the new README.md
8. If any problems arise, open an issue or contact me

Old Instructions

1. Follow only the Tauri prerequisites
2. Install yarn with npm i -g yarn
3. Create the frontend project with yarn create vite APP-NAME --template react[-ts] and enter a package-name if you have to
4. Run yarn add -D @tauri-apps/cli && yarn tauri init in the newly created directory
5. Now copy the contents of each file in this repo (excluding README.md and LICENSE.md) into the corresponding file of your project. For example my package.json.
6. Run yarn to install dependencies (ignore warnings)
7. Run yarn dev to start developing

• The four views not found in boilerplate were added by yours truly. My About is the ViewExample provided in src
• Home view is purposely not translated since it’s a filler
