ArtCraft is a Rust / Tauri app.

To set up the ArtCraft development environment, install the following:

1. Install Rust.
2. Install npm or nvm. (Node version v24.13.0 works at time of writing.)
3. Install nx. (Nx version v22.4.5 works at time of writing.)
4. Install Tauri CLI. (Version tauri-cli 2.10.0 works at time of writing.)

An easy way to get started with running the app in development is to run the two commands (in separate terminals):

Mac and Linux Development

# Run the frontend dev server
./script/artcraft/unix_frontend_dev.sh

# Run the Tauri Rust application
./script/artcraft/unix_rust_dev.sh

Windows Development

# Run the frontend dev server
.\script\artcraft\windows_frontend_dev.ps1

# Run the Tauri Rust application
.\script\artcraft\windows_rust_dev.ps1

Backend services and website builds live in the separate artcraft-services repository. This repository retains the desktop task database in _database/sql/artcraft_migrations/ and its SQLite query cache in .sqlx/. Use SQLX_OFFLINE=true cargo check -p artcraft to check Rust without a database server.
