Open url in browser on all platforms¹ (excluding IOS, still in testing). Basically <a target="_blank"></a> replacement for all platforms¹.

Usage

&& cargo (possibly inside ./src-tauri/)

cargo add tauri-plugin-openurl

also add this to your tauri builder

tauri::Builder::default()
    // other plugins
    .plugin(tauri_plugin_openurl::init())
    // rest of the builder

Usage

import { open_url } from "tauri-plugin-openurl-api";

<button onClick={() => {
    open_url("https://crates.io/crates/tauri-plugin-openurl");
}}>Click to open in default browser</button>
