vue-cli-plugin-tauri VS vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder

Tauri, on the other hand, uses native WebView, so it's way smaller. You should check it out. Depending on what you want to build, you may not need to know Rust, as the Tauri API is pretty extensive.

Producing bindings to existing cross-platform GUI toolkits like Qt is hard work for a young language (I use PyO3 and PyQt or PySide to set up a "frontend in Python, backend in Rust" configuration when I need QWidget GUIs, similar to how you have to use Qt's QML ECMAScript dialect for the frontend if you want to write a Qt Quick GUI, regardless of the host language. You can use gtk-rs for GTK, but the GTK devs seem determined to unofficially deprecate using it to make applications that don't follow GNOME's increasingly alien-feeling HIG by neglecting that use-case and tying any attempts to catch up with Qt's level of convenience to libadwaita. That said, Microsoft does provide official bindings for WinAPI if you want to write something Windows-only, there are also equivalent crates for Apple APIs, and you can use Tauri if you want an Electron-like solution. See Are We GUI Yet? for more.)

Tauri is a new framework that offers what people like most about Electron but fixes many of the security and performance concerns. Tauri offers the ability to design your UI using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but allows you to use lower-level languages to write the application and backend logic.

Are you using https://github.com/tauri-apps/vue-cli-plugin-tauri? It's pretty painless.

vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder is neat, but it's not my cup of tea.

I see another comment suggesting https://github.com/nklayman/vue-cli-plugin-electron-builder so that could be an option as well.

Hello! I'm trying to figure out how to package a python directory, which I have set up as a virtualenv as part of my app dist, which is built with Vue3, electron, and the Vue CLI electron builder plugin. I intend to run app.py in my python directory using the python-shell package. Anyways, any insight on how to properly achieve this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I am using the Vue CLI Electron Builder Plugin this calls electron-builder under the hood.
