# Devtools for Tauri

Inspect, monitor, and understand your [Tauri](https://tauri.app) application with ease.

- **Easy Integration:** With just a few lines of code, enable detailed event logging and metadata extraction for your application.
- **Rich Insights:** Get insight into what your app is doing, Performance, Errors, Warnings, everything is available at a glance.
- **And more:** This project is actively worked on, and we are open to hear your ideas, check out the [Upcoming Features]() issue for details.

## Getting Started

Ensure you have [Tauri](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/setup/) set up correctly. Then install the Rust instrumentation from crates.io:

```sh
cargo add tauri-plugin-devtools
```

Then add the following snippet to your tauri initialization code:

```rust
fn main() {
    #[cfg(debug_assertions)] // only enable instrumentation in development builds
    let devtools = tauri_plugin_devtools::init();

    let mut builder = tauri::Builder::default();

    #[cfg(debug_assertions)]
    {
        builder = builder.plugin(devtools);
    }

    builder
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}
```

And then run your app as usual, if everything is set up correctly devtools will print the following message:
