This is a proof-of-concept tauri-like implementation using C#. Tauri provides a mechanism to build a native js/typescript application for Mac/Windows/iOS by hosting a WebView and using IPC to call Rust functions from the front-end.
This project does something similar, using .NET MAUI as the UI framework, pointing a webview to a locally hosted app, and hosting a websocket server to allow native method calls from js/typescript with C#/.NET core.
Components
nativeclient/ is the Next.js app created with create-t3-app.
index.tsx is a sample using the invoke() to call the native C# code.
NativeSocket.ts is the api that would be provided similar to Tauri's front-end library, used to invoke native methods from js/typescript.
nativemaui/nativecore is the core library that a user would have to import and decorate their RPC/native classes with [Processor] and methods with the [Request] attribute.
nativemaui/nativeexternal/EchoProcessor.cs is an example of a native class/method implementation that can be called from the front-end. This is similar to the main.rs in a tauri app, and the assembly produced from this is loaded dynamically at runtime. invoke() on the client side works by using reflection to find the name of the method being called and invoke it with the named parameters passed from the client.
