"Open external URLs and files in the default system application using the Tauri v2 opener plugin with protocol allowlisting. Use when opening links in the browser, launching files in their default app, or restricting which protocols and paths can be opened."

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: 
    cargo add tauri-plugin-opener
  2. Register the plugin in your Tauri builder: 
    tauri::Builder::default()
    .plugin(tauri_plugin_opener::init())
  3. Configure capabilities with allowed URLs/protocols in src-tauri/capabilities/default.json: 
    {
  "permissions": [
    { "identifier": "opener:allow-open-url", "allow": [{ "url": "https://**" }] },
    "opener:allow-open-path"
  ]
}
  4. Open URLs and files from the frontend: 
    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
  • Security validation for paths and protocols
