This page provides technical information for developers who want to understand SGI’s architecture or contribute to the project.

This page is intended for developers. End users should refer to the main documentation.

Architecture Overview

SGI is built using a modern tech stack that combines web technologies with native desktop capabilities:

Frontend (Next.js + React)

  • Framework: Next.js 15+ with React 19+
  • UI Library: HeroUI components
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS
  • Icons: React Icons
  • Animations: Framer Motion
  • Internationalization: react-i18next

Backend (Tauri + Rust)

  • Desktop Framework: Tauri 2.0
  • Language: Rust (latest stable)
  • Steam Integration: Custom Rust modules
  • File System: Tauri’s secure file system APIs
  • Process Management: Tauri process APIs

External Components

  • SteamUtility: External C# utility to simulate game processes
  • Steam API: Official Steam Web API integration
  • Steamworks SDK: For advanced Steam integration

Core APIs

Tauri Commands

SGI uses Tauri’s command system to communicate between the frontend and backend:

Authentication & Steam Integration

// Get available Steam users
#[tauri::command]
async fn get_steam_users() -> Result<Vec<SteamUser>, String>
 
// Get user's game library
#[tauri::command]
async fn get_user_games(steam_id: String) -> Result<Vec<Game>, String>
 
// Validate Steam account
#[tauri::command]
async fn validate_steam_account(steam_id: String) -> Result<bool, String>

Game Management

// Start idling a game
#[tauri::command]
async fn start_idle_game(app_id: u32) -> Result<(), String>
 
// Stop idling a game
#[tauri::command]
async fn stop_idle_game(app_id: u32) -> Result<(), String>
 
// Get currently idling games
#[tauri::command]
async fn get_idling_games() -> Result<Vec<u32>, String>

Achievement Management

// Get achievements for a game
#[tauri::command]
async fn get_achievements(app_id: u32) -> Result<Vec<Achievement>, String>
 
// Unlock achievement
#[tauri::command]
async fn unlock_achievement(app_id: u32, achievement_id: String) -> Result<(), String>
 
// Lock achievement
#[tauri::command]
async fn lock_achievement(app_id: u32, achievement_id: String) -> Result<(), String>
