Where should I start?

Checkout This Kanban Board to see the rough development roadmap.

Important notes

  • Notify the developers on Suwayomi discord (#tachidesk-server and #tachidesk-webui channels) 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.
  • Your pull request will be squashed into a single commit.
  • We hate big pull requests, make them as small as possible, change one meaningful thing. Spam pull requests, we don't mind.

Project goals and vision

  • Porting Tachiyomi and covering its features
  • Syncing with Tachiyomi, main issue
  • Generally rejecting features that Tachiyomi(main app) doesn't have,
    • Unless it's something that makes sense for desktop sizes or desktop form factor (keyboard + mouse)
    • Additional/crazy features can go in forks and alternative clients
  • Suwayomi-WebUI should
    • be responsive
    • support both desktop and mobile form factors well

How does Suwayomi-Server work?

This project has two components:

  1. Server: contains the implementation of tachiyomi's extensions library and uses an Android compatibility library to run jar libraries converted from apk extensions. All this concludes to serving a GraphQL API.
  2. WebUI: A React SPA(create-react-app) project that works with the server to do the presentation located at https://github.com/Suwayomi/Suwayomi-WebUI

API

GraphQL

Only available in the preview at the moment

The GraphQL API can be queried with a POST request to /api/graphql. There is also the GraphiQL IDE accessible by the browser at /api/graphql to perform ad-hoc queries and explore the API.

REST

Warning

Soon to be deprecated

The REST API can be queried at /api/v1. An interactive Swagger API explorer is available at /api/swagger-ui.

Tracker client authorization

OAuth

Since the url of a Suwayomi-Server is not known, it is not possible to redirect directly to the client.
Thus, to provide tracker support via oauth, the tracker clients redirect to the suwayomi website and there the actual redirection to the client takes place.

When implementing the login process in your client you have to make sure to follow some preconditions:

To be able to redirect to the client you have to attach a state object to the query of the auth url

  • this state object has to have a redirectUrl which points to the client route at which you want to handle the auth result
  • besides the redirectUrl you can pass any information you require to handle the result (e.g. the server id of the tracker client)
  • example URL for AniList: https://anilist.co/api/v2/oauth/authorize?client_id=ID&response_type=token&state={ redirectUrl: "http://localhost:4567/handle/oauth/result", trackerId: 1, anyOtherInfo: "your client requires" }

Once the permission has been granted, you will get redirected to the client at the provided route (redirectUrl).

  • Example URL (decoded) for AniList: http://localhost:4567/handle/oauth/result?access_token=TOKEN&token_type=Bearer&expires_in=31622400&state={ redirectUrl: "http://localhost:4567/handle/oauth/result", trackerId: 1, anyOtherInfo: "your client requires" }).

Finally, to finish the login process, you just have to pass this URL to the server as the callbackUrl.

Why a web app?

This structure is chosen to

  • Achieve the maximum multi-platform-ness
  • Gives the ability to access Suwayomi-Server from a remote client e.g., your phone, tablet or smart TV
  • Ease development of user interfaces for Suwayomi

Building from source

Prerequisites

You need these software packages installed in order to build the project

  • Java Development Kit and Java Runtime Environment version 8 or newer(both Oracle JDK and OpenJDK works)

building the full-blown jar (Suwayomi-Server + Suwayomi-WebUI bundle)

Run ./gradlew server:downloadWebUI server:shadowJar, the resulting built jar file will be server/build/Suwayomi-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/Suwayomi-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/Suwayomi-Server-vX.Y.Z-rxxx-winXX.zip.

Running in development mode

run ./gradlew :server:run --stacktrace to run the server

Running tests

run ./gradlew :server:test to execute all tests to test a specific class run ./gradlew :server:test --tests <package.with.classname>

Building the android-jar maven repository

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, then use AndroidCompat/lib/android.jar to manually create a maven repository inside the android-jar git branch. Update the dependency declaration afterwards.
