Where should I start?

Checkout This Kanban Board to see the rough development roadmap.

Note to potential contributors: Notify Aria Moradi (@ArMor) on Suwayomi discord 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?

This project has two components:

  1. server: contains the implementation of tachiyomi's extensions library 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?

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: The react SPA that Tachidesk is traditionally shipped with.
  2. TachideskJUI: A Jetbrains Compose Native app, re-uses components made for the upcoming Tachiyomi 1.x
  3. Equinox: A web user interface made with Vue.js, in super early stages of development.

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 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

Run ./gradlew :server:windowsPackage to build a server only bundle and ./gradlew :webUI:copyBuild :server:windowsPackage to get a full bundle , the resulting built zip package file will be server/build/Tachidesk-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-win32.zip.

Running in development mode

First satistify the 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 opned 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.
