Pake supports Mac, Windows, and Linux. Check out README for [Popular Packages](https://github.com/tw93/Pake#popular-packages), [Command-Line Packaging](https://github.com/tw93/Pake#command-line-packaging), and [Customized Development](https://github.com/tw93/Pake#development) information.

## Features

- 🎐 Nearly 20 times smaller than an Electron package (around 5M!)
- 🚀 With Rust Tauri, Pake is much more lightweight and faster than JS-based frameworks.
- 📦 Battery-included package — shortcut pass-through, immersive windows, and minimalist customization.
- 👻 Pake is just a simple tool — replace the old bundle approach with Tauri (though PWA is good enough).

## Before starting

1. **For beginners** : Play with Popular Packages to find out Pake’s capabilities, or try to pack your application with [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/wiki/Online-Compilation-(used-by-ordinary-users)). Don’t hesitate to reach for assistance at [Discussion](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/discussions)!
2. **For developers** : “Command-Line Packaging” supports macOS fully. For Windows/Linux users, it requires some tinkering. [Configure your environment](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites) before getting started.
3. **For hackers** : For people who are good at both front-end development and Rust, how about customizing your apps’ function more with the following [Customized Development](https://github.com/tw93/Pake#development)?

## Command-Line Packaging

[![Pake](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4d51a4790ecb94d0c959d9e83c0c2f758c4bcad3c9d2f18ea7e1aa78ba110e7e/68747470733a2f2f67772e616c697061796f626a656374732e636f6d2f7a6f732f6b2f7a642f70616b652e676966)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/4d51a4790ecb94d0c959d9e83c0c2f758c4bcad3c9d2f18ea7e1aa78ba110e7e/68747470733a2f2f67772e616c697061796f626a656374732e636f6d2f7a6f732f6b2f7a642f70616b652e676966)

**Pake provides a command line tool, making the flow of package customization quicker and easier. See [documentation](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/blob/master/bin/README.md) for more information.**

```auto
# Install with npm
npm install -g pake-cli

# Command usage
pake url [OPTIONS]...

# Feel free to play with Pake! It might take a while to prepare the environment the first time you launch Pake.
pake https://weekly.tw93.fun --name Weekly --hide-title-bar

```

If you are new to the command line, you can compile packages online with _GitHub Actions_. See the [Tutorial](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/wiki/Online-Compilation-(used-by-ordinary-users)) for more information.

## Development

Prepare your environment before starting. Make sure you have Rust `>=1.63` and Node `>=16` (e.g., `16.18.1`) installed on your computer. For installation guidance, see [Tauri documentation](https://tauri.app/v1/guides/getting-started/prerequisites).

If you are unfamiliar with these, it is better to try out the above tool to pack with one click.

```auto
# Install Dependencies
npm i

# Local development [Right-click to open debug mode.]
npm run dev

# Pack application
npm run build

```

## Advanced Usage

1. You can refer to the [codebase structure](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/wiki/Description-of-Pake's-code-structure) before working on Pake, which will help you much in development.
2. Modify the `url` and `productName` fields in the `pake.json` file under the src-tauri directory, the “domain” field in the `tauri.config.json` file needs to be modified synchronously, as well as the `icon` and `identifier` fields in the `tauri.xxx.conf.json` file. You can select an `icon` from the `icons` directory or download one from [macOSicons](https://macosicons.com/#/) to match your product needs.
3. For configurations on window properties, you can modify the `pake.json` file to change the value of `width`, `height`, `fullscreen` (or not), `resizable` (or not) of the `windows` property. To adapt to the immersive header on Mac, change `hideTitleBar` to `true`, look for the `Header` element, and add the `padding-top` property.
4. For advanced usages such as style rewriting, advertisement removal, JS injection, container message communication, and user-defined shortcut keys, see [Advanced Usage of Pake](https://github.com/tw93/Pake/wiki/Advanced-Usage-of-Pake).
