File System plugin setup with npm and cargo

To set up the File System plugin automatically using npm/yarn/pnpm/deno/bun, run the command: npm run tauri add fs (or yarn run tauri add fs, pnpm tauri add fs, deno task tauri add fs, bun tauri add fs). To manually set up, run 'cargo add tauri-plugin-fs' in the src-tauri folder, then modify lib.rs to add .plugin(tauri_plugin_fs::init()) to the tauri::Builder, then install the JavaScript bindings with npm install @tauri-apps/plugin-fs (or yarn add, pnpm add, deno add npm:@tauri-apps/plugin-fs, bun add).

File System plugin Rust initialization

In src-tauri/src/lib.rs, add the tauri_plugin_fs::init() plugin to the tauri::Builder: tauri::Builder::default().plugin(tauri_plugin_fs::init()).run(tauri::generate_context!()).expect("error while running tauri application");

Android File System permissions for external storage

To use audio, cache, documents, downloads, images, public, or video directories on Android, add these permissions to the manifest tag in gen/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/> and <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

iOS File System privacy requirements with PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy

iOS requires PrivacyInfo.xcprivacy file in src-tauri/gen/apple folder with NSPrivacyAccessedAPICategoryFileTimestamp key and C617.1 approved reason code for file timestamp access. The reason code C617.1 applies when accessing file timestamps, sizes, or other metadata within app containers, app group containers, or CloudKit containers.

File System watch function requires feature flag

The watch() function requires the 'watch' feature flag in Cargo.toml: [dependencies] tauri-plugin-fs = { version = "2.0.0", features = ["watch"] }

File System plugin setup in JavaScript

To use @tauri-apps/plugin-fs: Add @tauri-apps/plugin-fs: ^2.0.0 to package.json. In Rust: plugin(tauri_plugin_fs::init()). In JavaScript: import { mkdir, BaseDirectory } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-fs'; await mkdir('db', { baseDir: BaseDirectory.AppLocalData });

File System plugin setup and API in Tauri 2.0

In Tauri 2.0, the File System plugin replaces the old fs API. Add 'tauri-plugin-fs = "2"' to Cargo.toml. In Rust, use std::fs functions. In JavaScript, import from '@tauri-apps/plugin-fs'. Example: import { createDir, BaseDirectory } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-fs'; await createDir('db', { dir: BaseDirectory.AppLocalData });
