Task 3: Add "Create File" Functionality

Extend your editor with file creation capabilities

Core Implementation Roadmap​

  1. Backend Command

    • Add a Rust function create_file(path: String) using std::fs::File::create
    • Expose via Tauri command

  2. Frontend UI

    • Add a "📄 New File" button to the toolbar
    • Link it to Tauri’s save() dialog for path selection

  3. File Explorer Sync

    • After creation, refresh the parent directory in the sidebar
    • Reuse get_child_paths from Task 2

  4. Security, if needed

    • Allow file creation in permitted directories via tauri.conf.json

Final Conclusion​

You’ve achieved to create a text editor with foundational file management capabilities!
"To create is to breathe life into the inert. Now your editor pulses with possibility."
