ARCHIVED: Please use the PyTauri template generator instead.

Getting started

From project root, enter the following commands:

uv venv --python-preference only-system
.venv\Scripts\activate
uv pip install -e src-tauri\src-python
npm install

You can then run the app with:

npm run tauri dev

Setting up for development in JetBrains IDEAs

Webstorm - for frontend development

1. Add a new run configuration -> npm
2. Command: run, Scripts: tauri, Arguments: dev
3. Add a new environment variable named VIRTUAL_ENV. Its value should be an absolute path pointing to the virtual environment, e.g. C:\Users\...\...\pytauri-vue-starter\.venv.

PyCharm - for python development

Requires PyCharm professional

1. Set the python interpreter (should be the python.exe in .venv\Scripts).
2. Open a terminal, make sure the virtual environment is activated.
3. Install pydevd for PyCharm.

uv pip install pydevd-pycharm~=243.25659.43

4. Add the following code to the top of __init__.py

import pydevd_pycharm
pydevd_pycharm.settrace('localhost', port=5678, stdoutToServer=True, stderrToServer=True) 

5. Add a new run configuration -> Python Debug Server
6. IDE host name: localhost, Port: 5678
7. Run the Python Debug Server before starting the npm server.
   You can now set breakpoints as you usually would to debug your python code.
