Tauri Sidecars: Embedding External Binaries
This skill covers embedding and executing external binaries (sidecars) in Tauri applications, including configuration, cross-platform considerations, and execution from Rust and JavaScript.
Overview
Sidecars are external binaries embedded within Tauri applications to extend functionality or eliminate the need for users to install dependencies. They can be executables written in any programming language.
Common Use Cases:
- Python CLI applications packaged with PyInstaller
- Go or Rust compiled binaries for specific tasks
- Node.js applications bundled as executables
- API servers or background services
Plugin Dependency
Sidecars require the shell plugin:
Cargo.toml:
