+# Tauri Advanced Event System
+
+## Event Fundamentals
+
+### Backend → Frontend Events
+
+**Basic event emission**:
+```rust
+use tauri::Window;
+
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn start_download(
+    url: String,
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    window.emit("download-started", url)
+        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+
+    // Perform download...
+
+    window.emit("download-complete", "Success")
+        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())
+}
+```
+
+**Frontend listener**:
+```typescript
+import { listen, UnlistenFn } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+const unlisten = await listen<string>('download-started', (event) => {
+    console.log('Download started:', event.payload);
+});
+
+// Clean up when done
+unlisten();
+```
+
+## Structured Event Payloads
+
+### Typed Events with Serde
+
+**Backend**:
+```rust
+use serde::Serialize;
+
+#[derive(Serialize, Clone)]
+struct ProgressEvent {
+    current: usize,
+    total: usize,
+    percentage: f64,
+    message: String,
+    speed_mbps: Option<f64>,
+}
+
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn download_file(
+    url: String,
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    let total_size = get_file_size(&url).await?;
+
+    for chunk in 0..total_size {
+        // Download chunk...
+
+        let progress = ProgressEvent {
+            current: chunk,
+            total: total_size,
+            percentage: (chunk as f64 / total_size as f64) * 100.0,
+            message: format!("Downloading... {}/{}", chunk, total_size),
+            speed_mbps: Some(calculate_speed()),
+        };
+
+        window.emit("download-progress", progress)
+            .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+    }
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Frontend**:
+```typescript
+interface ProgressEvent {
+    current: number;
+    total: number;
+    percentage: number;
+    message: string;
+    speed_mbps?: number;
+}
+
+const unlisten = await listen<ProgressEvent>('download-progress', (event) => {
+    const { current, total, percentage, message, speed_mbps } = event.payload;
+
+    updateProgressBar(percentage);
+    updateStatus(message);
+
+    if (speed_mbps) {
+        updateSpeed(speed_mbps);
+    }
+});
+```
+
+### Complex Event Payloads
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Serialize, Clone)]
+#[serde(tag = "type", content = "data")]
+enum AppEvent {
+    UserLoggedIn { user_id: String, username: String },
+    UserLoggedOut { user_id: String },
+    DataSynced { items_count: usize, timestamp: String },
+    ErrorOccurred { code: String, message: String, recoverable: bool },
+}
+
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn perform_login(
+    username: String,
+    password: String,
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<String, String> {
+    let user = authenticate(&username, &password).await?;
+
+    // Emit structured event
+    window.emit("app-event", AppEvent::UserLoggedIn {
+        user_id: user.id.clone(),
+        username: user.username.clone(),
+    }).map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+
+    Ok(user.id)
+}
+```
+
+**Frontend**:
+```typescript
+type AppEvent =
+    | { type: 'UserLoggedIn'; data: { user_id: string; username: string } }
+    | { type: 'UserLoggedOut'; data: { user_id: string } }
+    | { type: 'DataSynced'; data: { items_count: number; timestamp: string } }
+    | { type: 'ErrorOccurred'; data: { code: string; message: string; recoverable: boolean } };
+
+listen<AppEvent>('app-event', (event) => {
+    const appEvent = event.payload;
+
+    switch (appEvent.type) {
+        case 'UserLoggedIn':
+            handleLogin(appEvent.data.user_id, appEvent.data.username);
+            break;
+        case 'UserLoggedOut':
+            handleLogout(appEvent.data.user_id);
+            break;
+        case 'DataSynced':
+            showSyncSuccess(appEvent.data.items_count);
+            break;
+        case 'ErrorOccurred':
+            handleError(appEvent.data);
+            break;
+    }
+});
+```
+
+## Streaming Data Patterns
+
+### Real-Time Data Stream
+
+```rust
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn stream_sensor_data(
+    sensor_id: String,
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    let mut interval = tokio::time::interval(Duration::from_millis(100));
+
+    for _ in 0..100 {
+        interval.tick().await;
+
+        let reading = read_sensor(&sensor_id).await?;
+
+        window.emit("sensor-reading", reading)
+            .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+    }
+
+    window.emit("sensor-stream-ended", sensor_id)
+        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())
+}
+```
+
+**Frontend with React**:
+```typescript
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+import { listen } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+interface SensorReading {
+    value: number;
+    timestamp: number;
+    unit: string;
+}
+
+function SensorMonitor() {
+    const [readings, setReadings] = useState<SensorReading[]>([]);
+
+    useEffect(() => {
+        let unlisten: UnlistenFn | undefined;
+
+        listen<SensorReading>('sensor-reading', (event) => {
+            setReadings(prev => [...prev.slice(-99), event.payload]);
+        }).then(fn => unlisten = fn);
+
+        return () => unlisten?.();
+    }, []);
+
+    return (
+        <div>
+            {readings.map((r, i) => (
+                <div key={i}>{r.value} {r.unit}</div>
+            ))}
+        </div>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+### Buffered Streaming
+
+```rust
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn stream_logs(
+    log_file: String,
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    use tokio::io::{AsyncBufReadExt, BufReader};
+    use tokio::fs::File;
+
+    let file = File::open(log_file).await
+        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+
+    let reader = BufReader::new(file);
+    let mut lines = reader.lines();
+
+    let mut buffer = Vec::new();
+
+    while let Some(line) = lines.next_line().await
+        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())? {
+
+        buffer.push(line);
+
+        // Send in batches of 10 lines
+        if buffer.len() >= 10 {
+            window.emit("log-batch", buffer.clone())
+                .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+            buffer.clear();
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Send remaining lines
+    if !buffer.is_empty() {
+        window.emit("log-batch", buffer)
+            .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+    }
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+## Multi-Window Communication
+
+### Broadcasting to All Windows
+
+```rust
+use tauri::{AppHandle, Manager};
+
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn broadcast_message(
+    message: String,
+    app: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    // Emit to ALL windows
+    app.emit_all("broadcast", message)
+        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())
+}
+```
+
+### Targeted Window Messaging
+
+```rust
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn send_to_window(
+    target_window: String,
+    message: String,
+    app: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    // Get specific window
+    if let Some(window) = app.get_window(&target_window) {
+        window.emit("private-message", message)
+            .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+        Ok(())
+    } else {
+        Err(format!("Window '{}' not found", target_window))
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Window-to-Window via Backend
+
+**Window A (sender)**:
+```typescript
+import { invoke } from '@tauri-apps/api/core';
+
+async function sendToSettings(data: any) {
+    await invoke('relay_to_settings', { data });
+}
+```
+
+**Backend relay**:
+```rust
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn relay_to_settings(
+    data: serde_json::Value,
+    app: AppHandle,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    if let Some(settings_window) = app.get_window("settings") {
+        settings_window.emit("data-update", data)
+            .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+    }
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+**Window B (receiver - settings)**:
+```typescript
+import { listen } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+useEffect(() => {
+    let unlisten: UnlistenFn | undefined;
+
+    listen('data-update', (event) => {
+        console.log('Received from main window:', event.payload);
+        updateSettings(event.payload);
+    }).then(fn => unlisten = fn);
+
+    return () => unlisten?.();
+}, []);
+```
+
+## Frontend → Backend Events
+
+### Custom Frontend Events
+
+```typescript
+import { emit } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+// Frontend emits event
+await emit('user-action', {
+    action: 'button-click',
+    button_id: 'save-button',
+    timestamp: Date.now()
+});
+```
+
+**Backend listener**:
+```rust
+use tauri::{Manager, Listener};
+
+fn main() {
+    tauri::Builder::default()
+        .setup(|app| {
+            let app_handle = app.handle();
+
+            // Listen for frontend events
+            app_handle.listen_global("user-action", move |event| {
+                if let Some(payload) = event.payload() {
+                    println!("User action: {}", payload);
+                    // Process event...
+                }
+            });
+
+            Ok(())
+        })
+        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
+        .expect("error while running tauri application");
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Listener Management
+
+### React Hook for Events
+
+```typescript
+import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
+import { listen, UnlistenFn } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+function useEvent<T>(eventName: string): T | null {
+    const [payload, setPayload] = useState<T | null>(null);
+
+    useEffect(() => {
+        let unlisten: UnlistenFn | undefined;
+
+        listen<T>(eventName, (event) => {
+            setPayload(event.payload);
+        }).then(fn => unlisten = fn);
+
+        return () => unlisten?.();
+    }, [eventName]);
+
+    return payload;
+}
+
+// Usage
+function ProgressDisplay() {
+    const progress = useEvent<ProgressEvent>('download-progress');
+
+    if (!progress) return null;
+
+    return (
+        <div>
+            Progress: {progress.percentage.toFixed(2)}%
+        </div>
+    );
+}
+```
+
+### Event Queue Pattern
+
+```typescript
+import { listen } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+class EventQueue<T> {
+    private queue: T[] = [];
+    private unlisten?: UnlistenFn;
+
+    async start(eventName: string) {
+        this.unlisten = await listen<T>(eventName, (event) => {
+            this.queue.push(event.payload);
+        });
+    }
+
+    dequeue(): T | undefined {
+        return this.queue.shift();
+    }
+
+    clear() {
+        this.queue = [];
+    }
+
+    stop() {
+        this.unlisten?.();
+    }
+
+    get length() {
+        return this.queue.length;
+    }
+}
+
+// Usage
+const progressQueue = new EventQueue<ProgressEvent>();
+await progressQueue.start('download-progress');
+
+// Process queue periodically
+setInterval(() => {
+    while (progressQueue.length > 0) {
+        const event = progressQueue.dequeue();
+        processProgress(event);
+    }
+}, 100);
+```
+
+### One-Time Events
+
+```typescript
+import { once } from '@tauri-apps/api/event';
+
+// Listen for event only once
+await once<string>('initialization-complete', (event) => {
+    console.log('App initialized:', event.payload);
+    startApp();
+});
+```
+
+## Error Handling in Events
+
+### Safe Event Emission
+
+```rust
+async fn emit_safe(window: &Window, event: &str, payload: impl Serialize) -> Result<(), String> {
+    window.emit(event, payload)
+        .map_err(|e| {
+            eprintln!("Failed to emit event '{}': {}", event, e);
+            e.to_string()
+        })
+}
+
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn process_with_events(
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    emit_safe(&window, "processing-started", "Starting...")
+        .await?;
+
+    // Process...
+
+    emit_safe(&window, "processing-complete", "Done!")
+        .await?;
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Throttling Events
+
+```rust
+use std::time::{Duration, Instant};
+
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn high_frequency_updates(
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    let mut last_emit = Instant::now();
+    let throttle_duration = Duration::from_millis(100);
+
+    for i in 0..10000 {
+        let value = compute_value(i);
+
+        // Only emit every 100ms
+        if last_emit.elapsed() >= throttle_duration {
+            window.emit("update", value)
+                .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+            last_emit = Instant::now();
+        }
+    }
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Batching Events
+
+```rust
+#[tauri::command]
+async fn batch_updates(
+    window: Window,
+) -> Result<(), String> {
+    let mut batch = Vec::new();
+
+    for item in process_items() {
+        batch.push(item);
+
+        // Emit in batches of 50
+        if batch.len() >= 50 {
+            window.emit("batch-update", batch.clone())
+                .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+            batch.clear();
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Emit remaining items
+    if !batch.is_empty() {
+        window.emit("batch-update", batch)
+            .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
+    }
+
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always clean up listeners** - Use `unlisten()` to prevent memory leaks
+2. **Type event payloads** - Define interfaces for type safety
+3. **Use structured events** - Tagged unions for multiple event types
+4. **Throttle high-frequency events** - Prevent overwhelming frontend
+5. **Batch when possible** - Reduce serialization overhead
+6. **Handle errors gracefully** - Log failed emissions, don't crash
+7. **Use once() for one-time events** - Initialization, completion signals
+8. **Namespace event names** - Use prefixes like "download:", "user:", "system:"
+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+❌ **Forgetting to unlisten**:
+```typescript
+// WRONG - memory leak
+function Component() {
+    listen('my-event', handler);  // Never cleaned up!
+}
+
+// CORRECT
+function Component() {
+    useEffect(() => {
+        let unlisten: UnlistenFn | undefined;
+        listen('my-event', handler).then(fn => unlisten = fn);
+        return () => unlisten?.();
+    }, []);
+}
+```
+
+❌ **Not handling serialization errors**:
+```rust
+// WRONG - struct can't serialize
+#[derive(Clone)]  // Missing Serialize!
+struct Event { }
+
+window.emit("event", Event {});  // Runtime error!
+
+// CORRECT
+#[derive(Serialize, Clone)]
+struct Event { }
+```
+
+❌ **Emitting too frequently**:
+```rust
+// WRONG - 10000 events in quick succession
+for i in 0..10000 {
+    window.emit("update", i);  // Overwhelming!
+}
+
+// CORRECT - throttle or batch
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+- **Events are async** - Backend → Frontend communication
+- **Always type payloads** - Use serde::Serialize + TypeScript interfaces
+- **Clean up listeners** - Call `unlisten()` in cleanup
+- **Throttle/batch** - High-frequency events need rate limiting
+- **Use structured payloads** - Tagged unions for multiple event types
+- **Window targeting** - `emit()` for specific, `emit_all()` for broadcast
+- **Frontend events** - Use `emit()` from frontend, listen in backend setup
