window

Provides APIs to create windows, communicate with other windows and manipulate the current window.

Window events

Events can be listened to using Window.listen:

import { getCurrentWindow } from "@tauri-apps/api/window";
getCurrentWindow().listen("my-window-event", ({ event, payload }) => { });

References

Notes

This effect has bad performance when resizing/dragging the window on Windows 11 build 22621.

Window

Create new window or get a handle to an existing one.

Windows are identified by a label a unique identifier that can be used to reference it later. It may only contain alphanumeric characters a-zA-Z plus the following special characters -, /, : and _.

Example

import { Window } from "@tauri-apps/api/window"

const appWindow = new Window('theUniqueLabel');

appWindow.once('tauri://created', function () {
 // window successfully created
});
appWindow.once('tauri://error', function (e) {
 // an error happened creating the window
});

// emit an event to the backend
await appWindow.emit("some-event", "data");
// listen to an event from the backend
const unlisten = await appWindow.listen("event-name", e => {});
unlisten();
