Getting started

Supported Tauri Version

This plugin requires Tauri 2.0 or later.

Install

Install the Rust crate by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:

src-tauri/Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
tauri-plugin-pinia = "3"

Install the JavaScript package with your preferred package manager:

npm

npm install @tauri-store/pinia

pnpm

pnpm add @tauri-store/pinia

deno

deno add npm:@tauri-store/pinia

bun

bun add @tauri-store/pinia

yarn

yarn add @tauri-store/pinia

Usage

1. Enable the required permissions in your capabilities file:

src-tauri/capabilities/pinia.json

{
  "identifier": "pinia",
  "windows": ["*"],
  "permissions": ["pinia:default", "core:event:default"]
}

2. Register the plugin with Tauri:

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

tauri::Builder::default()
  .plugin(tauri_plugin_pinia::init())
  .run(tauri::generate_context!())
  .expect("error while running tauri application");

3. Enable the plugin for Pinia:

src/index.ts

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import { createPinia } from 'pinia';
import { createPlugin } from '@tauri-store/pinia';

const app = createApp(App);

const pinia = createPinia();
pinia.use(createPlugin());

app.use(pinia);
app.mount('#app');

TIP

createPlugin is also exported as TauriPluginPinia.

4. Define your Pinia store:

src/stores/counter.ts

import { ref } from 'vue';
import { defineStore } from 'pinia';

export const useStore = defineStore('counter', () => {
  const counter = ref(0);
  return { counter };
});

5. Start it:

const store = useStore();
await store.$tauri.start();

TIP

Stores won't be saved nor synchronized until you start them, but you can enable the autoStart option to make them start automatically.

Nuxt

If you are using Nuxt, you can create a Nuxt plugin to enable it for Pinia:

plugins/pinia.ts

import type { Pinia } from 'pinia';
import { TauriPluginPinia } from '@tauri-store/pinia';

// See: https://pinia.vuejs.org/core-concepts/plugins.html#Nuxt-js
export default defineNuxtPlugin(({ $pinia }) => {
  ($pinia as Pinia).use(TauriPluginPinia());
});
