Hello

first, congratulations for the awesome video about this surreal technologies, what a tech stack, the best combination ever :) one of the best tauri | surrealdb videos I ever see

so well explained and clear, a bit complex to for new comers

I try to compile the project and have bellow error

   Compiling ts-rs v6.2.0
   Compiling webkit2gtk v0.18.1

I note you have a file in your video that in not here Awesome.toml can you upload all files like you have in the video that way we can follow it

thanks @jeremychone

First, thanks for the kind words and trying it out.

• It seems you are not using awesome-app dev command. You probably should run that.

• Awesome.toml used only by awesome-app dev, and will get generated if not present. This allows keeping it as in sync as possible with the version of the awesome-app as possible.

Now to build it manually, you can repeat what the awesome-app dev does by running the following commands (but will take some effort to have the concurrency and all, this is what awesome-app dev does)

[[dev.runners]]
name = "npm_install"
cmd = "npm"
args = ["install"]

[[dev.runners]]
name = "tauri_icons"
when.no_file_at = "src-tauri/icons/32x32.png"
cmd = "npm"
args = ["run", "tauri", "icon", "src-tauri/icons/app-icon.png"]

[[dev.runners]]
name = "cargo_build"
working_dir = "src-tauri/"
cmd = "cargo"
args = ["build"]

[[dev.runners]]
name = "pcss"
cmd = "npm"
args = ["run", "pcss", "--", "-w"]
concurrent = true 
# if this process exit, end the dev session
end_all_on_exit = true

[[dev.runners]]
name = "rollup"
cmd = "npm"
args = ["run", "rollup", "--", "-w"]
concurrent = true
end_all_on_exit = true

[[dev.runners]]
name = "localhost"
cmd = "npm"
args = ["run", "localhost"]
concurrent = true
end_all_on_exit = true

[[dev.runners]]
name = "tauri_dev"
wait_before = 2000 # wait in ms, before getting called
cmd = "npm"
args = ["run", "tauri", "dev"]
concurrent = true
end_all_on_exit = true

trying....

$ cargo install create-tauri-app

$ node -v
v16.18.0

fixed changing to node v18.9.0

$ node -v
v18.9.0

seems the culprit is the node version, changed node version 18.9.0 and everything start to work has expected and awesome app already running so beautiful and clean, its the first tauri and electron app that don't have the annoying select text like in web page issue this one really smells like native eheheh

thanks @jeremychone

[jeremychone]

Thank you very much for the detailed report.

• I need to have awesome-dev check the node version, and do the warning.
• Update the README with the information that node.js 18 is required.

awesome @jeremychone

$ ls -lah target/release/app
-rwxr-xr-x 2 mario users 20M out 18 22:46 target/release/app

this is crazy man 20mb a app with surreal db embedded hot stuff ahahah

thanks

[jeremychone]

yes, pretty cool. Now, if you add the "file storage" of surrealDB, might be a little bit more, but this is order of magnitude less than what the industry is used to.

Btw, we have done Web UI for a long time, and there are many best practices to make them feel more native. We will share those as we go along. The first tip, is to use the #RealDOM, and keep the DOM tree simple, and use o(1) event binding when possible. Anyway, more to come!

[koakh]

Sure this is only the tip of Iceberg :) I will keep an eye on this project

thanks and keep the awesome work buddy @jeremychone

kind regards
