Tachidesk-VaadinUI is a free and open source manga reader UI for the Desktop. The UI is built in Vaadin and runs on the JVM. Tachidesk-VaadinUI uses the data received from a Tachidesk/Suwayomi Server instance and visualizes it for the User. Tachidesk-VaadinUI can run the Tachidesk server itself by downloading the necessary binary automatically. Alternatively it can also connect to an existing server instance.

Development Guidelines

Formatting

Please use the Google Java Format to format your code. You can find an IntelliJ plugin, which will format the code for you here.

Commit Messages

Explain what the commit does in a simple manner. Don't explain the whole algorithm you implemented, but rather what the commit does. For example: "Add support for reading Manga" or "Fix bug where Manga Page doesn't load correctly".

Pull Requests

Please make sure that your code compiles and runs before making a pull request. Also make sure that your code is well formatted. If you want to make a pull request, feel free to do so. I'll review it and if it's good, I'll merge it in a timely manner.

Note: If you want to make a big change, please open an issue first and discuss if the change is needed/wanted. This way you won't have done a lot of work for nothing and I won't have to reject your pull request.

Code

Please make sure your code is readable and follows the guidelines above. Also make sure new methods are documented with a proper JavaDoc. For example:

/**
 * This method returns the {@link Manga} title.
 *
 * @param mangaId The id of the Manga to get the tile from.
 * @return The title of the Manga. 
 */
public String getMangaTitle(String mangaId) {
    /* Code here
            
     */
}

Building

To build the project you'll need to use the gradle tasks provided by the project. Note that you will have to use BellSoft Liberica as JDK provider for building the project. This application should always use the newest LTS Java Version unless stated otherwise.
