## Where should I start?
|
||||
Checkout [This Kanban Board](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/projects/1) to see the rough development roadmap.
|
||||
|
||||
**Note to potential contributors:** Notify the developers on Suwayomi discord (#programming channel) or open a WIP pull request before starting if you decide to take on working on anything from/not from the roadmap in order to avoid parallel efforts on the same issue/feature.

## How does Tachidesk work?
|
||||
## How does Tachidesk-Server work?
|
||||
This project has two components:
|
||||
1. **server:** contains the implementation of [tachiyomi's extensions library](https://github.com/tachiyomiorg/extensions-lib) and uses an Android compatibility library to run apk extensions. All this concludes to serving a REST API to `webUI`.
|
||||
2. **webUI:** A react SPA(`create-react-app`) project that works with the server to do the presentation.

## Why a web app?
|
||||
## Why a web server app?
|
||||
This structure is chosen to
|
||||
- Achieve the maximum multi-platform-ness
|
||||
- Gives the ability to acces Tachidesk from a remote web browser e.g. your phone, tablet or smart TV
|
||||
- Eaise development of alternative user intefaces for Tachidesk
|
||||
|
||||
## User Interfaces for Tachidesk server
|
||||
Currently, there are three known interfaces for Tachidesk:
|
||||
1. [webUI](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/tree/master/webUI/react): The react SPA that Tachidesk is traditionally shipped with.
|
||||
2. [TachideskJUI](https://github.com/Suwayomi/TachideskJUI): A Jetbrains Compose Native app, re-uses components made for the upcoming Tachiyomi 1.x
|
||||
3. [Equinox](https://github.com/Suwayomi/Equinox): A web user interface made with Vue.js, in super early stages of development.
|
||||
- Gives the ability to acces Tachidesk-Server from a remote client e.g. your phone, tablet or smart TV
|
||||
- Eaise development of user intefaces for Tachidesk

## Building from source
|
||||
### Prerequisites
|
||||
You need these software packages installed in order to build the project
|
||||
### Server
|
||||
|
||||
- Java Development Kit and Java Runtime Environment version 8 or newer(both Oracle JDK and OpenJDK works)
|
||||
- Android stubs jar
|
||||
- Manual download: Download [android.jar](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Suwayomi/Tachidesk/android-jar/android.jar) and put it under `AndroidCompat/lib`.
|
||||
- Automated download: Run `AndroidCompat/getAndroid.sh`(MacOS/Linux) or `AndroidCompat/getAndroid.ps1`(Windows) from project's root directory to download and rebuild the jar file from Google's repository.
|
||||
### webUI
|
||||
- Nodejs LTS or latest
|
||||
- Yarn
|
||||
- Git
|
||||
### building the full-blown jar
|
||||
Run `./gradlew :webUI:copyBuild server:shadowJar`, the resulting built jar file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar`.
|
||||
### building without `webUI` bundled(server only)
|
||||
Delete the `server/src/main/resources/react` directory if exists from previous runs, then run `./gradlew server:shadowJar`, the resulting built jar file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar`.
|
||||
### building the Windows package
|
||||
First Build the jar, then cd into the `scripts` directory and run `./windows<bits>-bundler.sh` (or `./windows<bits>-bundler.ps1` if you are on windows), the resulting built zip package file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-win64.zip`.
|
||||
## Running in development mode
|
||||
First satisfy [the prerequisites](#prerequisites)
|
||||
### server
|
||||
run `./gradlew :server:run --stacktrace` to run the server
|
||||
### webUI
|
||||
How to do it is described in `webUI/react/README.md` but for short,
|
||||
first cd into `webUI/react` then run `yarn` to install the node modules(do this only once)
|
||||
then `yarn start` to start the development server, if a new browser window doesn't get opened automatically,
|
||||
then open `http://127.0.0.1:3000` in a modern browser. This is a `create-react-app` project
|
||||
and supports HMR and all the other goodies you'll need.
|
||||
|
||||
### building the full-blown jar (Tachidesk-Server + Tachidesk-WebUI bundle)
|
||||
Run `./gradlew server:downloadWebUI server:shadowJar`, the resulting built jar file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-Server-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar`.
|
||||
|
||||
### building without `webUI` bundled(server only)
|
||||
Delete `server/src/main/resources/WebUI.zip` if exists from previous runs, then run `./gradlew server:shadowJar`, the resulting built jar file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-Server-vX.Y.Z-rxxx.jar`.
|
||||
|
||||
### building the Windows package
|
||||
First Build the jar, then cd into the `scripts` directory and run `./windows-bundler.sh win32` or `./windows-bundler.sh win64` depending on the target architecture, the resulting built zip package file will be `server/build/Tachidesk-Server-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-winXX.zip`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Running in development mode
|
||||
run `./gradlew :server:run --stacktrace` to run the server
