# Advanced Usage
English | 简体中文
Customize Pake apps with style modifications, JavaScript injection, and container communication.
## Style Customization
Remove ads or customize appearance by modifying CSS.
**Quick Process:**
1. Run `pnpm run dev` for development
2. Use DevTools to find elements to modify
3. Edit `src-tauri/src/inject/style.js`:
```javascript
const css = `
.ads-banner { display: none !important; }
.header { background: #1a1a1a !important; }
`;
```
## JavaScript Injection
Add custom functionality like keyboard shortcuts.
**Implementation:**
1. Edit `src-tauri/src/inject/event.js`
2. Add event listeners:
```javascript
document.addEventListener("keydown", (e) => {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.key === "k") {
// Custom action
}
});
```
## Built-in Features
### Download Error Notifications
Pake automatically provides user-friendly download error notifications:
**Features:**
- **Bilingual Support**: Automatically detects browser language (Chinese/English)
- **System Notifications**: Uses native OS notifications when permission is granted
- **Graceful Fallback**: Falls back to console logging if notifications are unavailable
- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Handles all download types (HTTP, Data URI, Blob)
**User Experience:**
When a download fails, users will see a notification:
- English: "Download Error - Download failed: filename.pdf"
- Chinese: "下载错误 - 下载失败: filename.pdf"
**Requesting Notification Permission:**
To enable notifications, add this to your injected JavaScript:
```javascript
// Request notification permission on app start
if (window.Notification && Notification.permission === "default") {
Notification.requestPermission();
}
```
The download system automatically handles:
- Regular HTTP(S) downloads
- Data URI downloads (base64 encoded files)
- Blob URL downloads (dynamically generated files)
- Context menu initiated downloads
## Container Communication
Send messages between web content and Pake container.
**Web Side (JavaScript):**
```javascript
window.__TAURI__.invoke("handle_scroll", {
scrollY: window.scrollY,
scrollX: window.scrollX,
});
```
**Container Side (Rust):**
```rust
#[tauri::command]
fn handle_scroll(scroll_y: f64, scroll_x: f64) {
println!("Scroll: {}, {}", scroll_x, scroll_y);
}
```
## Window Configuration
Configure window properties in `pake.json`:
```json
{
"windows": {
"width": 1200,
"height": 780,
"fullscreen": false,
"resizable": true
},
"hideTitleBar": true
}
```
## Static File Packaging
Package local HTML/CSS/JS files:
```bash
pake ./my-app/index.html --name my-static-app --use-local-file
```
Requirements: Pake CLI >= 3.0.0

### Key Components
- **CLI Tool** (`bin/`): TypeScript-based command interface for packaging apps
- **Tauri App** (`src-tauri/`): Rust-based desktop framework
- **Injection System** (`src-tauri/src/inject/`): Custom CSS/JS injection for webpages
- **Configuration**: Multi-platform app settings and build configurations
## Development Workflow
### Prerequisites

#### Platform-Specific Requirements
**macOS:**
- Xcode Command Line Tools: `xcode-select --install`
**Windows:**
- **CRITICAL**: Consult [Tauri prerequisites](https://tauri.app/start/prerequisites/) before proceeding
- Windows 10 SDK (10.0.19041.0) and Visual Studio Build Tools 2022 (≥17.2)
- Required redistributables:
1. Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x64)
2. Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86)
3. Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable (x86) (optional)

### Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/tw93/Pake.git
cd Pake
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Start development
pnpm run dev
```
### Development Commands
1. **CLI Changes**: Edit files in `bin/`, then run `pnpm run cli:build`
2. **Core App Changes**: Edit files in `src-tauri/src/`, then run `pnpm run dev`
3. **Injection Logic**: Modify files in `src-tauri/src/inject/` for web customizations
4. **Testing**: Run `pnpm test` for comprehensive validation
#### Command Reference
- **Dev mode**: `pnpm run dev` (hot reload)
- **Build**: `pnpm run build`
- **Debug build**: `pnpm run build:debug`
- **CLI build**: `pnpm run cli:build`
#### CLI Development
For CLI development with hot reloading, modify the `DEFAULT_DEV_PAKE_OPTIONS` configuration in `bin/defaults.ts`:
```typescript
export const DEFAULT_DEV_PAKE_OPTIONS: PakeCliOptions & { url: string } = {
...DEFAULT_PAKE_OPTIONS,
url: "https://weekly.tw93.fun/",
name: "Weekly",
};
```
Then run:
```bash
pnpm run cli:dev
```
This script reads the configuration and packages the specified app in watch mode, with hot updates for `pake-cli` code changes.
### Testing Guide
Comprehensive CLI build test suite for validating multi-platform packaging functionality.
#### Running Tests
```bash
# Complete test suite (recommended)
pnpm test # Run full test suite including real build tests (8-12 minutes)
# Quick testing during development
pnpm test -- --no-build # Skip build tests, validate core functionality only (30 seconds)
# Build CLI for testing
pnpm run cli:build
```
#### 🚀 Complete Test Suite Includes
- ✅ **Unit Tests**: CLI commands, parameter validation, response time
- ✅ **Integration Tests**: Process management, file permissions, dependency resolution
- ✅ **Builder Tests**: Platform detection, architecture detection, file naming
- ✅ **Real Build Tests**: Complete GitHub.com app packaging validation
#### Test Details
**Unit Tests (6 tests)**
- Version command (`--version`)
- Help command (`--help`)
- URL validation (valid/invalid links)
- Parameter validation (number type checking)
- CLI response time (<2 seconds)
- Weekly URL accessibility
**Integration Tests (3 tests)**
- Process spawning and management
- File system permission checks
- Dependency package resolution validation
**Builder Tests (3 tests)**
- Platform detection (macOS/Windows/Linux)
- Architecture detection (Intel/ARM64)
- File naming pattern verification
**Real Build Tests (Focus)**
_macOS_: 🔥 Multi-architecture build (Universal binary)
- Compile Intel + Apple Silicon dual architecture
- Detect `.app` file generation: `GitHubMultiArch.app`
- Fallback detection: `src-tauri/target/universal-apple-darwin/release/bundle/macos/`
- Verify universal binary: `file` command architecture check
_Windows_: Single architecture build
- Detect EXE file: `src-tauri/target/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/release/pake.exe`
- Detect MSI installer: `src-tauri/target/x86_64-pc-windows-msvc/release/bundle/msi/*.msi`
_Linux_: Single architecture build
- Detect DEB package: `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/*.deb`
- Detect AppImage: `src-tauri/target/release/bundle/appimage/*.AppImage`
#### Release Build Testing
```bash
# Actual build testing (tests weread + twitter apps)
node ./tests/release.js
```
Real build of 2 application packages to verify complete packaging flow and release.yml logic.
#### Troubleshooting
- **CLI file not found**: Run `pnpm run cli:build`
- **Test timeout**: Build tests require extended time to complete
- **Build failures**: Check Rust toolchain with `rustup update`
- **Permission errors**: Ensure write permissions are available
Total: **13 tests** - all passing indicates CLI functionality is working properly. Recommend running `pnpm test` before code commits to ensure all platforms build correctly.
### Common Build Issues
- **Rust compilation errors**: Run `cargo clean` in `src-tauri/` directory
- **Node dependency issues**: Delete `node_modules` and run `pnpm install`
- **Permission errors on macOS**: Run `sudo xcode-select --reset`
