Configuration
The Tauri configuration object. It is read from a file where you can define your frontend assets, configure the bundler, enable the app updater, define a system tray, enable APIs via the allowlist and more.
The configuration file is generated by the tauri init
command that lives in your Tauri application source directory (src-tauri).
Once generated, you may modify it at will to customize your Tauri application.
File Formatsβ
By default, the configuration is defined as a JSON file named tauri.conf.json
.
Tauri also supports JSON5 and TOML files via the config-json5
and config-toml
Cargo features, respectively. The JSON5 file name must be either tauri.conf.json
or tauri.conf.json5
. The TOML file name is Tauri.toml
.
Platform-Specific Configurationβ
In addition to the default configuration file, Tauri can read a platform-specific configuration from tauri.linux.conf.json
, tauri.windows.conf.json
, and tauri.macos.conf.json
(or Tauri.linux.toml
, Tauri.windows.toml
and Tauri.macos.toml
if the Tauri.toml
format is used), which gets merged with the main configuration object.
Configuration Structureβ
The configuration is composed of the following objects:
package

Can be any of the following types:
string
(format:uri
): An external URL.string
: The path portion of an app URL. For instance, to loadtauri://localhost/users/john
, you can simply provideusers/john
in this configuration.
Themeβ
System theme.
Can be any ONE of the following types:
- "Light": Light theme.
- "Dark": Dark theme.
TitleBarStyleβ
How the window title bar should be displayed on macOS.
Can be any ONE of the following types:
"Visible": A normal title bar.
"Transparent": Makes the title bar transparent, so the window background color is shown instead.
Useful if you don't need to have actual HTML under the title bar. This lets you avoid the caveats of using
TitleBarStyle::Overlay
. Will be more useful when Tauri lets you set a custom window background color."Overlay": Shows the title bar as a transparent overlay over the window's content.
Keep in mind:
The height of the title bar is different on different OS versions, which can lead to window the controls and title not being where you don't expect.
You need to define a custom drag region to make your window draggable, however due to a limitation you can't drag the window when it's not in focus https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/issues/4316.
The color of the window title depends on the system theme.

string? | null | The argument long description which will be shown on the help information. Typically this a more detailed (multi-line) message that describes the argument. | |
boolean | false | Specifies that the argument takes a value at run time. NOTE: values for arguments may be specified in any of the following methods - Using a space such as -o value or --option value - Using an equals and no space such as -o=value or --option=value - Use a short and no space such as -ovalue | |
boolean | false | Specifies that the argument may have an unknown number of multiple values. Without any other settings, this argument may appear only once. For example, --opt val1 val2 is allowed, but --opt val1 val2 --opt val3 is not. NOTE: Setting this requires takes_value to be set to true. | |
boolean | false | Specifies that the argument may appear more than once. For flags, this results in the number of occurrences of the flag being recorded. For example -ddd or -d -d -d would count as three occurrences. For options or arguments that take a value, this does not affect how many values they can accept. (i.e. only one at a time is allowed) For example, --opt val1 --opt val2 is allowed, but --opt val1 val2 is not. | |
integer? (format: uint ) | null | Specifies how many values are required to satisfy this argument. For example, if you had a -f <file> argument where you wanted exactly 3 'files' you would set number_of_values = 3 , and this argument wouldn't be satisfied unless the user provided 3 and only 3 values.NOTE: Does not require multiple_occurrences = true to be set. Setting multiple_occurrences = true would allow -f <file> <file> <file> -f <file> <file> <file> where as not setting it would only allow one occurrence of this argument.NOTE: implicitly sets takes_value = true and multiple_values = true . | |
array? | null | Specifies a list of possible values for this argument. At runtime, the CLI verifies that only one of the specified values was used, or fails with an error message. | |
integer? (format: uint ) | null | Specifies the minimum number of values for this argument. For example, if you had a -f <file> argument where you wanted at least 2 'files', you would set minValues: 2 , and this argument would be satisfied if the user provided, 2 or more values. | |
integer? (format: uint ) | null | Specifies the maximum number of values are for this argument. For example, if you had a -f <file> argument where you wanted up to 3 'files', you would set .max_values(3), and this argument would be satisfied if the user provided, 1, 2, or 3 values. | |
boolean | false | Sets whether or not the argument is required by default. - Required by default means it is required, when no other conflicting rules have been evaluated - Conflicting rules take precedence over being required. | |
string? | null | Sets an arg that override this arg's required setting i.e. this arg will be required unless this other argument is present. | |
array? | null | Sets args that override this arg's required setting i.e. this arg will be required unless all these other arguments are present. | |
array? | null | Sets args that override this arg's required setting i.e. this arg will be required unless at least one of these other arguments are present. | |

array? | null | Allows a conditional requirement with the signature [arg, value] the requirement will only become valid if arg 's value equals ${value} . | |
array? | null | Allows specifying that an argument is required conditionally with the signature [arg, value] the requirement will only become valid if the arg 's value equals ${value} . | |
boolean? | null | Requires that options use the --option=val syntax i.e. an equals between the option and associated value. | |
integer? (format: uint , minimum: 1 ) | null | The positional argument index, starting at 1. The index refers to position according to other positional argument. It does not define position in the argument list as a whole. When utilized with multiple=true, only the last positional argument may be defined as multiple (i.e. the one with the highest index). |

Csp ? | view | The Content Security Policy that will be injected on all HTML files on development. This is a really important part of the configuration since it helps you ensure your WebView is secured. See https://mdn.org.cn/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP. | |
boolean | false | Freeze the Object.prototype when using the custom protocol. | |
DisabledCspModificationKind | false | Disables the Tauri-injected CSP sources. At compile time, Tauri parses all the frontend assets and changes the Content-Security-Policy to only allow loading of your own scripts and styles by injecting nonce and hash sources. This stricts your CSP, which may introduce issues when using along with other flexing sources. This configuration option allows both a boolean and a list of strings as value. A boolean instructs Tauri to disable the injection for all CSP injections, and a list of strings indicates the CSP directives that Tauri cannot inject. WARNING: Only disable this if you know what you are doing and have properly configured the CSP. Your application might be vulnerable to XSS attacks without this Tauri protection. | |
RemoteDomainAccessScope | [] | Allow external domains to send command to Tauri. By default, external domains do not have access to window.__TAURI__ , which means they cannot communicate with the commands defined in Rust. This prevents attacks where an externally loaded malicious or compromised sites could start executing commands on the user's device.This configuration allows a set of external domains to have access to the Tauri commands. When you configure a domain to be allowed to access the IPC, all subpaths are allowed. Subdomains are not allowed. WARNING: Only use this option if you either have internal checks against malicious external sites or you can trust the allowed external sites. You application might be vulnerable to dangerous Tauri command related attacks otherwise. | |
boolean | false | Sets whether the custom protocols should use http://<scheme>.localhost instead of the default https://<scheme>.localhost on Windows.WARNING: Using a http scheme will allow mixed content when trying to fetch http endpoints and is therefore less secure but will match the behavior of the <scheme>://localhost protocols used on macOS and Linux. |
