I am trying to make an app with imports. I have a javascript file that uses the library import without any problem (when I run it using node). I have another javascript file that creates an event on button click. But when I try to merge the two its giving me errors on the import.
This file works perfectly fine on it's own:
But when I launch tauri app it gives me the import error

no clue why you're using Tauri if it's all JS anyway (why JS and not TS?)

I wanted to make a lightweight desktop app

It's still shipping a full browser
light frost
idk difference between js and ts. I just know that JS is something I am more familliar with

What could have I used for an exe-based lightweight app with high customizability

cross plat like OS?
jaunty thunder
but TL;DR Tauri doesn't do anything that Electron doesn't (except for "use Rust")
light frost
linux n all that
jaunty thunder
cross plat like OS?
yes
light frost
Its the imports
idk how to explain but in short the "web" couldnt reach the import like it normally would while using node
so I had to use a bundler or sm shi
Like this:
light frost
it's the same stuff
Then whats the advantage of using electron instead of tauri?
jaunty thunder
you don't have the Rust garbage in your project?
Using Tauri makes sense when you plan on shipping Rust code
light frost
I didnt rly touch the rust code at all
so does that mean I can transfer to electron and just copy-paste the code I already made?
jaunty thunder
TL;DR yes (but you also don't gain much except for not having that Rust stuff in your codebase)
light frost
I mean if electron is seen as a better name I could just transfer
jaunty thunder
It's all the same stuff

Moved it over to electron either way. A lot less clutter and files
I'm sure you can guess which is electron
