# Contractless Wallet GUI

This folder contains the early Contractless desktop wallet prototype.

## Required Location

This wallet crate must be placed directly inside the Contractless blockchain repository root.

Expected layout:

```text
Contractless/
  Cargo.toml
  src/
  gui_wallet/
    Cargo.toml
    tauri.conf.json
    frontend/
    src/
```

The wallet depends on the blockchain crate with:

```toml
blockchain = { path = ".." }
```

Because of that, `gui wallet/` must be in the same folder that contains the Contractless `src/` folder and root `Cargo.toml`. If the wallet folder is moved somewhere else, the parent `..` path will not point at the blockchain crate and the wallet will not build.

## Layout

- `frontend/` contains the static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript wallet UI.
- `src/` contains the Rust/Tauri desktop app code.
- `icons/`, `capabilities/`, `tauri.conf.json`, `build.rs`, `Cargo.toml`, and `Cargo.lock` are the Tauri project files.

## Build Check

From `gui wallet/`:

```bash
cargo check
cargo build
```

## Linux Prerequisites

Tauri depends on native Linux desktop libraries. On Ubuntu/Debian, install:

```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install \
  libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev \
  libgtk-3-dev \
  libayatana-appindicator3-dev \
  librsvg2-dev \
  libdbus-1-dev \
  pkg-config
```

Some older distributions may use `libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev` instead of `libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev`.

Fedora-style systems generally need the equivalent WebKitGTK, GTK, AppIndicator/Ayatana, librsvg, DBus, and pkg-config development packages.

## Icons

Tauri expects platform icon assets in `icons/`.

- Windows uses `icon.ico`.
- Linux expects `icon.png`.
