# Tauri: An Ultimate Project Template
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-tauri-react)
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-tauri-react)
This template should help get you started developing with [Tauri](https://tauri.app), [React](https://reactjs.org), [Typescript](https://typescriptlang.org) and [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com) (w/ [shadcn/ui](https://ui.shadcn.com/)) in [Vite](https://vitejs.dev).
The architecture is based on practices suggested by [@alan2207](https://github.com/alan2207) in his [bulletproof-react](https://github.com/alan2207/bulletproof-react/blob/master/docs/project-structure.md).
In addition, this template configures [ESLint](https://eslint.org/), [Prettier](https://prettier.io/), [Husky](https://typicode.github.io/husky/) and [Lint-staged](https://github.com/lint-staged/lint-staged) for pre-commits.
## Getting Started
### Basics
Ensure that you have the [Tauri prerequisites](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites) installed.
#### Create a new project
```bash
npx create-tauri-react@latest
```
## What's included
### Core
A basic Tauri setup with Vite, React, Typescript.
#### Tailwind CSS
A basic Tailwind CSS setup. Includes a `components.json` for Shadcn UI components.
### Dev Tools
#### Eslint 9
A new Eslint 9 setup with flat config. This will help you to keep your code clean and consistent.
#### Prettier
A basic Prettier setup to keep your code formatted.
#### Husky + Lint-staged
Pre-commit hooks to run Eslint and Prettier on staged files.
## How to use?
Once again, the architecture of the template is based on practices proposed by [@alan2207](https://github.com/alan2207) in his [bulletproof-react](https://github.com/alan2207/bulletproof-react/blob/master/docs/project-structure.md).
```
src
|
+-- app # application layer containing:
| | # this folder might differ based on the meta framework used
| +-- routes # application routes / can also be pages
| +-- app.tsx # main application component
| +-- provider.tsx # application provider that wraps the entire application with different global providers - this might also differ based on meta framework used
| +-- router.tsx # application router configuration
+-- assets # assets folder can contain all the static files such as images, fonts, etc.
|
+-- components # shared components used across the entire application
|
+-- config # global configurations, exported env variables etc.
|
+-- features # feature based modules
|
+-- hooks # shared hooks used across the entire application
|
+-- lib # reusable libraries preconfigured for the application
|
+-- stores # global state stores
|
+-- testing # test utilities and mocks
|
+-- types # shared types used across the application
|
+-- utils # shared utility functions
```
```
src/features/awesome-feature
|
+-- api # exported API request declarations and api hooks related to a specific feature
|
+-- assets # assets folder can contain all the static files for a specific feature
|
+-- components # components scoped to a specific feature
|
+-- hooks # hooks scoped to a specific feature
|
+-- stores # state stores for a specific feature
|
+-- types # typescript types used within the feature
|
+-- utils # utility functions for a specific feature
```
So, simply put:
- Define your app's routes in `src/app/router.tsx` and `src/app/routes/*` with minimal business logic.
- The pages from the routes should be using `src/features` to build up functionality on the page.
- The features should be using components from `src/components`, which are pure ui components (like [Shadcn UI](https://ui.shadcn.com/)) or layouts.
- For an extended template, you can look up [`@MrLightful/powersync-tauri`](https://github.com/MrLightful/powersync-tauri), which also defines `src/config` and `src/hooks` examples.
