cargo-tessera

CLI tool for the Tessera UI framework - streamline project scaffolding, development, and building.

Installation

cargo install cargo-tessera

Usage

Create a new project

cargo tessera new my-app
cd my-app

Start development server

cargo tessera dev

cargo tessera dev watches src/, Cargo.toml, and (if present) build.rs, then rebuilds and restarts the app whenever changes are saved. Pass --verbose to see the underlying cargo commands.

Build for release

cargo tessera build --release

Cross-compile for a specific target:

cargo tessera build --release --target x86_64-pc-windows-msvc

Build for Android (experimental)

Install xbuild:

cargo install xbuild

Android helpers live under the dedicated subcommand:

# Build APK/AAB via xbuild
cargo tessera android build --release --format apk

# Run the app on a device/emulator (set --device if multiple devices are connected)
cargo tessera android dev --device adb:1234

cargo tessera android dev requires --device <adb_serial> (list devices with x devices). If a build or run fails, reinstall xbuild or run x doctor for diagnostics.

Commands

• cargo tessera new <name> - Create a new Tessera project
• cargo tessera dev - Start development server with automatic rebuild/restart
• cargo tessera build - Build desktop targets
• cargo tessera android <subcommand> - Android helpers (build, dev)
