# How to Contribute #
|
|
|
|
We're always looking for people to help make Kavita even better, there are a number of ways to contribute.
|
|
|
|
## Documentation ##
|
|
Setup guides, FAQ, the more information we have on the [wiki](https://wiki.kavitareader.com/contributing) the better.
|
|
|
|
## Development ##
|
|
|
|
### Tools required ###
|
|
- Visual Studio 2019 or higher (https://www.visualstudio.com/vs/). The community version is free and works fine. [Download it here](https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/).
|
|
- Rider (optional to Visual Studio, preferred editor) (https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/)
|
|
- HTML/Javascript editor of choice (VS Code/Sublime Text/Webstorm/Atom/etc)
|
|
- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads)
|
|
- [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) (Node 18.13.X or higher)
|
|
- .NET 9.0+
|
|
- dotnet tool install -g Swashbuckle.AspNetCore.Cli
|
|
|
|
### Getting started ###
|
|
|
|
1. Fork Kavita
|
|
2. Clone the repository into your development machine. [*info*](https://docs.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/cloning-a-repository-from-github)
|
|
3. Install the required Node Packages
|
|
- `cd Kavita/UI/Web`
|
|
- `npm install`
|
|
- `npm install -g @angular/cli`
|
|
5. Start the frontend
|
|
- `npm run start`
|
|
6. Build the project in Visual Studio/Rider, Setting startup project to `API`
|
|
7. Debug the project in Visual Studio/Rider
|
|
8. Open http://localhost:4200
|
|
9. (Deployment only) Run build.sh and pass the Runtime Identifier for your OS or just build.sh for all supported RIDs.
|
|
|
|
### Debugging on Device ###
|
|
- Update `IP` constant in `Web/UI/src/environments/environment.ts` to your dev machine's ip instead of `localhost`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Contributing Code ###
|
|
- If you're adding a new, already requested feature, please comment on [Github Issues](https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/issues "Github Issues") so work is not duplicated (If you want to add something not already on there, please talk to us first)
|
|
- Rebase from Kavita's develop branch, don't merge
|
|
- Make meaningful commits, or squash them
|
|
- Feel free to make a pull request before work is complete, this will let us see where its at and make comments/suggest improvements
|
|
- Reach out to us on the discord if you have any questions
|
|
- Add tests (unit/integration)
|
|
- Commit with *nix line endings for consistency (We checkout Windows and commit *nix)
|
|
- One feature/bug fix per pull request to keep things clean and easy to understand
|
|
- Use 4 spaces instead of tabs, this is the default for VS 2019 and WebStorm (to my knowledge)
|
|
- Use 2 spaces for UI files
|
|
|
|
### Pull Requesting ###
|
|
- Only make pull requests to develop, never main, if you make a PR to main we'll comment on it and close it
|
|
- You're probably going to get some comments or questions from us, they will be to ensure consistency and maintainability
|
|
- We'll try to respond to pull requests as soon as possible, if its been a day or two, please reach out to us, we may have missed it
|
|
- Each PR should come from its own [feature branch](http://martinfowler.com/bliki/FeatureBranch.html) not develop in your fork, it should have a meaningful branch name (what is being added/fixed)
|
|
- new-feature (Bad)
|
|
- fix-bug (Bad)
|
|
- patch (Bad)
|
|
- develop (Bad)
|
|
- feature/parser-enhancements (Great)
|
|
- bugfix/book-issues (Great)
|
|
|
|
### Swagger API ###
|
|
If you just want to play with Swagger, you can just
|
|
- cd Kavita/API
|
|
- dotnet run -c Debug
|
|
- Go to http://localhost:5000/swagger/index.html
|
|
|
|
If you have a build issue around swagger run:
|
|
` swagger tofile --output ../openapi.json API/bin/Debug/net8.0/API.dll v1` to see the error and correct it
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions about any of this, please let us know.
