How to load ressource at runtime?

[wiiznokes]

Is there plan to make a loader ressource path or somethings? It would be usefull.

These are generally taken care of by the framework, I humbly recommend https://tauri.app

It has two methods that might be helpful.

Of course if I misunderstood your question, please feel free to reopen and clarify what you need. :)

I'm not using tauri 🥲
What about a new crate that tauri could depend on? Like app_updater ?

[denjell-crabnebula]

That's what this is generally for, but we hadn't planned to rebuild Tauri in every possible way with cargo packager. I understand your request, of course. This is not currently planned, but a PR or a more fleshed out feature request with details might be worth considering.

[wiiznokes]

I would be happy to make a PR for that. I'm thinking it just a crate that search CARGO_PACKAGER_FORMAT env variable, and provide a impl for each formats.

What would be the name of this crate tho ?

a more fleshed out feature request

You mean in this issue, or there is another process i'm not aware of ?

[amr-crabnebula]

Unfortunately, since cargo-packager is just a tool and not supposed to be a dependency of your app, this has to be done in one of two ways:

• a separate crate e.g. cargo-packager-resource-resolver
• outline and document how the resources are copied over in the final bundle and maybe provide and example of a resource resolver implementation that can be copy/pasted.

Ok, I will try to works on the first option when i find time, thanks
