GitHubnpmcrates.io

API Reference:

Make HTTP requests with the http plugin.

Supported Platforms

This plugin requires a Rust version of at least 1.77.2

[TABLE]

Setup

Install the http plugin to get started.

• Automatic
• Manual

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

• npm
• yarn
• pnpm
• deno
• bun
• cargo

npm run tauri add http

yarn run tauri add http

pnpm tauri add http

deno task tauri add http

bun tauri add http

cargo tauri add http

1. Run the following command in the src-tauri folder to add the plugin to the project’s dependencies in Cargo.toml:

   cargo add tauri-plugin-http

2. Modify lib.rs to initialize the plugin:

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

   src-tauri/src/lib.rs

3. If you’d like to make http requests in JavaScript then install the npm package as well:

   • npm
   • yarn
   • pnpm
   • deno
   • bun

   npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-http

   yarn add @tauri-apps/plugin-http

   pnpm add @tauri-apps/plugin-http

   deno add npm:@tauri-apps/plugin-http

   bun add @tauri-apps/plugin-http

Usage

The HTTP plugin is available in both Rust as a reqwest re-export and JavaScript.

JavaScript

1. Configure the allowed URLs

   {  "permissions": [    {      "identifier": "http:default",      "allow": [{ "url": "https://*.tauri.app" }],      "deny": [{ "url": "https://private.tauri.app" }]    }  ]}

   src-tauri/capabilities/default.json

   For more information, please see the documentation for Permissions Overview

2. Send a request

   The fetch method tries to be as close and compliant to the fetch Web API as possible.

   import { fetch } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-http';
   // Send a GET requestconst response = await fetch('http://test.tauri.app/data.json', {  method: 'GET',});console.log(response.status); // e.g. 200console.log(response.statusText); // e.g. "OK"

Rust

In Rust you can utilize the reqwest crate re-exported by the plugin. For more details refer to reqwest docs.

use tauri_plugin_http::reqwest;
let res = reqwest::get("http://my.api.host/data.json").await;println!("{:?}", res.status()); // e.g. 200println!("{:?}", res.text().await); // e.g Ok("{ Content }")

Default Permission

This permission set configures what kind of fetch operations are available from the http plugin.

This enables all fetch operations but does not allow explicitly any origins to be fetched. This needs to be manually configured before usage.

Granted Permissions

All fetch operations are enabled.

This default permission set includes the following:

• allow-fetch
• allow-fetch-cancel
• allow-fetch-send
• allow-fetch-read-body
• allow-fetch-cancel-body
