Usage

Development

npm run dev # or pnpm dev or yarn dev

Runs the app in the development mode.

The first time you run this command, it will take several minutes for the Rust package manager to download and build all the required packages. Since they are cached, subsequent builds will be much faster, as only your code will need rebuilding.

If you make edits to the page in the webview should update automatically just like a browser will reload.
When you make edits to the Rust files, they will be rebuilt automatically and your app will restart.

Build

npm run build # or pnpm build or yarn build

Builds Solid to the dist folder and after will embed it into a single binary with your Rust code.
The binary itself will be located in src-tauri/target/release/[app name], and installers will be located in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/

Like the dev command, the first time you run this, it will take some time to collect the Rust crates and build everything - but on subsequent runs it will only need to rebuild your code, which is much quicker.

It correctly bundles Solid in production mode and optimizes the binary for the best performance.

🎉 Congratulations, your app is ready to be release!
