tauri-typegen-examples

This project showcases the capabilities of tauri-typegen, a Rust crate that generates TypeScript bindings from Tauri commands. It demonstrates how tauri-typegen enables type-safe communication between your Rust backend and TypeScript frontend, with optional Zod schema validation support.

Examples

ts/ - TypeScript Bindings Example

A demonstration of tauri-typegen's core features without validation. This example shows:

• Type generation from Rust structs and enums with serde attributes
• Command bindings for various patterns (simple, async, with parameters, Result types)
• Event handling with typed payloads
• Channel/streaming support with typed data
• Support for complex types (nested structs, Option, Vec, HashMap)

Perfect for projects that need type safety at compile-time without runtime validation overhead.

zod/ - Zod Validation Example

The same feature set as the TypeScript example, but with Zod runtime validation enabled. This example additionally demonstrates:

• Auto-generation of Zod schemas from Rust validator crate attributes
• Runtime input validation with custom error messages preserved from Rust
• Support for validation constraints: range, length, email, url
• Client-side validation before sending data to the backend

Ideal for forms, user input handling, and scenarios requiring data integrity validation.

How to use in your project

The easiest way is copy/pasting the tauri.conf.json and build.rs from the example to your src-tauri directory and adding tauri-typegen as build dependency.

cargo add --build tauri-typegen

This way the bindings will be regenerated everytime your Rust backend changes.
