Struct TauriIPCMessage 

pub struct TauriIPCMessage {
    pub channel: String,
    pub data: Value,
    pub sender: Option<String>,
    pub timestamp: u64,
}

IPC message structure matching Wind’s ITauriIPCMessage interface

This is the standard message format for all communication between Wind (TypeScript frontend) and Mountain (Rust backend).

Message Flow

Example Usage

let message = TauriIPCMessage {
    channel: "mountain_file_read".to_string(),
    data: serde_json::json!({ "path": "/path/to/file" }),
    sender: Some("wind-frontend".to_string()),
    timestamp: SystemTime::now()
        .duration_since(UNIX_EPOCH)
        .unwrap()
        .as_millis() as u64,
};

Fields

channel: String

IPC channel identifier that determines which handler processes the message

data: Value

Message payload data in flexible JSON format

sender: Option<String>

Optional sender identifier for tracking message origin

timestamp: u64

Unix timestamp in milliseconds for message ordering and debugging

Implementations

Returns

A new TauriIPCMessage with current timestamp

pub fn is_from(&self, sender: &str) -> bool

Check if message is from a specific sender

pub fn age_ms(&self) -> u64

Get message age in milliseconds
