Delta Chat Tauri

Delta Chat desktop with tauri as runtime instead of electron.

Start

Requirements

• rust (install it via https://rustup.rs)
• nodejs (use your favorite node version manager like fnm) and pnpm package manager
• on linux you need a few system dependencies:
  • debian/ubuntu sudo apt-get install -y libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libappindicator3-dev librsvg2-dev patchelf

pnpm i
pnpm tauri dev # or pnpm start

Check code

Check javascript (same command as the rest of the project):

pnpm -w check

Format rust code:

pnpm fmt
# or
cd src-tauri && cargo fmt

Lint rust code:

pnpm lint
# or
cd src-tauri && cargo clippy

Generate the icon

pnpm tauri icon deltachat-tauri2.svg --ios-color #2c3e50

Recommended IDE Setup

• VS Code + Tauri + rust-analyzer

Profiling startup time and get more information about tauri

You can use https://devtools.crabnebula.dev/ for that, for this you need to build with the crabnebula_extras feature:

pnpm tauri dev -f=crabnebula_extras

Shorten compile times in development

• use sccache
• (on linux) use mold linker
