GitHub npm crates.io

API Reference

This plugin provides APIs to access the current process. To spawn child processes, see the shell plugin.

Setup

Install the plugin-process to get started.

Automatic

Use your project’s package manager to add the dependency:

npm

npm run tauri add process

yarn

yarn run tauri add process

pnpm

pnpm tauri add process

bun

bun tauri add process

cargo

cargo tauri add process

Manual

1. Run cargo add tauri-plugin-process to add the plugin to the project’s dependencies in Cargo.toml.

2. Modify lib.rs to initialize the plugin:

   lib.rs

   #[cfg_attr(mobile, tauri::mobile_entry_point)]
   pub fn run() {
       tauri::Builder::default()
           // Initialize the plugin
           .plugin(tauri_plugin_process::init())
           .run(tauri::generate_context!())
           .expect("error while running tauri application");
   }

3. If you’d like to utilize the plugin in JavaScript then install the npm package as well:

   npm

   npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-process

   yarn

   yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-process

   pnpm

   pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-process

   bun

   bun add @tauri-apps/plugin-process

Usage

The process plugin is available in both JavaScript and Rust.

JavaScript

import { exit, relaunch } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-process';

// exits the app with the given status code
await exit(0);

// restarts the app
await relaunch();

Rust

Note that app is an instance of AppHandle.

// exits the app with the given status code
app.exit(0);

// restarts the app
app.restart();
