tauri-xhr v0.1.2

Tauri XHR

This package allow you to override the default XHR implementation to use http feature provided by Tauri.

It helps you bypass CORS restrictions when you want to use XHR in the WebView.

It can be helpful if you are using a SDK/library which uses XHR/axios to make CORS HTTP requests.

Usage

import { overrideGlobalXHR } from 'tauri-xhr'
overrideGlobalXHR()

// Then you can use XHR/axios as usual, but with CORS restrictions bypassed
import axios from 'axios'
axios.get('https://api.github.com/repos/tauri-apps/tauri')

Because it's using tauri's http feature under the hood, you need to allowlist the domains you want to make requests to.

{
  "tauri": {
    "allowlist": {
      "http": {
        "all": true, // enable all http APIs
        "scope": ["https://api.github.com/repos/tauri-apps/*"]
      }
    }
  }
}

Note

The custom XHR implementation does not implement all the features of the browser's XHR. There are some limitations:

• Only support sending/receiving string
• progress event is fired only when the request is fully completed
• timeout is not implemented yet
• overrideMimeType() is not implemented yet

Debugging

The package logges full request and response to the console with debug level.
