= MapTool
:toc:
:toclevels: 2
:source-highlighter: rouge
A mapping application backend written in Ruby with Sinatra, optionally
wrapped as a native desktop app with Tauri.
The project's shape is still open — this is the initial scaffold.
== Status
Early scaffold. The web application serves a basic Leaflet map; the
desktop shell boots the same server inside a native window.
== Requirements
* Ruby (see `.ruby-version`) and Bundler
* Rust and the Tauri CLI, only if you want to build the desktop shell
(see `docs/development.adoc`)
== Getting started
[source,shell]
----
bundle install
bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb
----
Then open http://127.0.0.1:4567 in a browser.
== Documentation
* link:docs/architecture.adoc[Architecture]
* link:docs/development.adoc[Development guide]

= Architecture
:toc:
:toclevels: 2
== Overview
MapTool is a Sinatra web application. The desktop build does not
reimplement anything natively — it wraps the same Sinatra app in a
https://tauri.app[Tauri] window, which is the standard way to ship a
non-JavaScript backend as a desktop app with Tauri: the Rust shell owns
the native window and starts the web server as a local process; the
window then simply loads `http://127.0.0.1:4567` as if it were a
regular page.

|===
| Path | Purpose
| `app.rb`, `config.ru`
| Sinatra application and Rack entry point.
| `config/puma.rb`
| Puma server configuration (binds to `127.0.0.1` only — the app is
local-only, not exposed on the network).
| `public/`, `views/`
| Frontend assets and Sinatra templates. The map view uses Leaflet.
| `src-tauri/`
| The Tauri (Rust) desktop shell.
| `docs/`
| Project documentation, in AsciiDoc.
|===
== Desktop shell (Tauri)
In *development*, `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json` sets `beforeDevCommand`
to start Puma, and `devUrl` points the window at it. Running the dev
build (see `docs/development.adoc`) starts both together.
In a *packaged build* there is no `beforeDevCommand` hook, so
`src-tauri/src/lib.rs` starts the server itself (`bundle exec puma`)
next to the bundled resources when the app launches, and stops it when
the window closes.
=== Known limitation: production packaging
The packaged-build server spawn currently assumes a Ruby + Bundler
installation already present on the machine running the app. That is
fine for internal or developer builds, but not for a distributable,
self-contained desktop app.
Shipping a real self-contained build would mean embedding a Ruby
runtime as a Tauri https://tauri.app/develop/sidecar/[sidecar] binary
(for example, produced with https://github.com/tebako/tebako[tebako]),
instead of relying on the system Ruby. That decision — and the
resulting sidecar build step — is not implemented yet and should be
revisited before any real distribution build.
== Networking
The Sinatra server only binds to `127.0.0.1`. It is not meant to be
reachable from other machines; the Tauri window talks to it over
loopback only.

== Web app only
[source,shell]
----
bundle install
bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb
----
Open http://127.0.0.1:4567. For auto-reload during development, run
via the `rerun` gem instead:
[source,shell]
----
bundle exec rerun -- bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb
----
== Desktop shell (Tauri)
=== Prerequisites
* Rust (stable) and the Tauri CLI: `cargo install tauri-cli --version "^2"`
* Ruby + Bundler, with gems installed (`bundle install` in the project
root)
* Platform build tools required by Tauri itself:
** *Linux*: WebKitGTK and GTK development packages, e.g. on
Debian/Ubuntu:
+
[source,shell]
----
sudo apt install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev libjavascriptcoregtk-4.1-dev \
libgtk-3-dev libsoup-3.0-dev build-essential
----
** *macOS*: Xcode command line tools.
** *Windows*: the WebView2 runtime (preinstalled on current Windows) and
the MSVC build tools.
See the upstream https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/[Tauri
prerequisites] page for the current package names on your platform.
=== Running in development
[source,shell]
----
cd src-tauri
cargo tauri dev
----
This runs `beforeDevCommand` (starts Puma on `127.0.0.1:4567`) and
opens a native window pointed at it, per `src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`.
=== Building
[source,shell]
----
cd src-tauri
cargo tauri build
----
Requires `Gemfile.lock` to exist (`bundle install` beforehand), since
the Ruby app files are embedded into the bundle as resources. See
`docs/architecture.adoc` for the current limitation around this build
still depending on a system Ruby installation on the target machine.
=== Regenerating icons
Desktop icons live in `src-tauri/icons/`. To regenerate them from a
new source image (at least 1024x1024 PNG):
[source,shell]
----
cd src-tauri
cargo tauri icon path/to/source.png
