Install

cargo add tauri-plugin-screenshots

You can install the JavaScript Guest bindings using your preferred JavaScript package manager:

pnpm add tauri-plugin-screenshots-api

Usage

src-tauri/src/lib.rs

pub fn run() {
    tauri::Builder::default()
+       .plugin(tauri_plugin_screenshots::init())
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}

src-tauri/capabilities/default.json

{
    ...
    "permissions": [
        ...
+       "screenshots:default"
    ]
}

Afterwards all the plugin's APIs are available through the JavaScript guest bindings:

import {
  getScreenshotableWindows,
  getWindowScreenshot,
} from "tauri-plugin-screenshots-api";

const windows = await getScreenshotableWindows();
const path = await getWindowScreenshot(windows[0].id);
console.log(path); // xx/tauri-plugin-screenshots/window-{id}.png
