## When to use this skill
**ALWAYS use this skill when the user mentions:**
- Opening external links or URLs from a Tauri app
- Launching files in their default application
- Protocol or path allowlisting for the opener
**Trigger phrases include:**
- "open link", "open URL", "open file", "default browser", "opener", "launch"
## How to use this skill
1. **Install the opener plugin**:
```bash
cargo add tauri-plugin-opener
```
2. **Register the plugin** in your Tauri builder:
```rust
tauri::Builder::default()
.plugin(tauri_plugin_opener::init())
```
3. **Configure capabilities** with allowed URLs/protocols in `src-tauri/capabilities/default.json`:
```json
{
"permissions": [
{ "identifier": "opener:allow-open-url", "allow": [{ "url": "https://**" }] },
"opener:allow-open-path"
]
}
```
4. **Open URLs and files from the frontend**:
```typescript
import { openUrl, openPath } from '@tauri-apps/plugin-opener';
await openUrl('https://tauri.app');
await openPath('/path/to/document.pdf');
```
5. **Restrict allowed protocols** to https:// and specific schemes only (never allow arbitrary URLs)
6. **Validate paths** before opening to prevent path traversal attacks
## Outputs
- Opener plugin setup with protocol-scoped permissions
- URL and file opening patterns
