# @padloc/tauri (experimental)
|
|
|
|
Cross-platform native app builder for Padloc, powered by
|
|
[Tauri](https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri).
|
|
|
|
## How To Use
|
|
|
|
1. Follow the steps described in the
|
|
[Getting Started](https://github.com/padloc/padloc/blob/master/README.md#getting-started)
|
|
section of repo readme.
|
|
|
|
2. Follow Tauri's
|
|
[setup guide](https://tauri.studio/docs/getting-started/intro/#setting-up-your-environment)
|
|
for your platform.
|
|
|
|
3. Build the app:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
cd packages/tauri
|
|
npm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Don't forget to set the server url
|
|
[configuration variable](https://github.com/padloc/padloc/blob/master/README.md#configuration).
|
|
For example, if you want the app to connect to the official Padloc server:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
PL_SERVER_URL=https://api.padloc.app npm run build
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## TODOs
|
|
|
|
Initial tests look very promising. Some things that still need figuring out.
|
|
|
|
- [ ] **Persistent Storage**: Using IndexedDB doesn't work here for various
|
|
reasons. Best option is probably writing a simple storage backend using
|
|
Tauri's [file system api](https://tauri.studio/docs/api/js#file-system).
|
|
- [ ] **Copy & Paste**: Doesn't work out of the box. Figure out steps to make
|
|
it work.
|
|
- [ ] **Auto-updating**: Must-have feature for desktop apps at least those not
|
|
distributed through app stores or package managers. Not available in
|
|
Tauri yet, but apparently on the roadmap.
|
|
- [ ] **Code-signing**: Also on Tauri's roadmap, but not available yet
|
|
- [ ] **Run without the embedded web server**: Would be the safer choice
|
|
security-wise but doesn't seem to work as-is. Need to figure out what
|
|
changes are needed to make it work.
|
|
- [ ] **Mobile**: Waiting for Tauri to support Android and iOS builds, which
|
|
could potentially replace Cordova.
|
|
- [ ] **Biometric Authentication**: This is a must-have on mobile but it would
|
|
be nice to have it on desktop as well
|
|
- [ ] **Secure Enclave / Key Store**: Along with biometric authentication,
|
|
this is a requirement for biometric unlock.
