On Deck + Misc Fixes and Changes (#1215)
* Added playwright and started writing e2e tests.

* To make things easy, disabled other browsers while I get confortable. Added a login flow (assumes my dev env)

* More tests on login page

* Lots more testing code, trying to figure out auth code.

* Ensure we don't track DBs inside config

* Added a new date property for when chapters are added to a series which helps with OnDeck calculations. Changed a lot of heavy api calls to use IEnumerable to stream repsonse to UI.

* Fixed OnDeck with a new field for when last chapter was added on Series. This is a streamlined way to query.

Updated Reading List with NormalizedTitle, CoverImage, CoverImageLocked.

* Implemented the ability to read a random item in the reading list and for the reading list to be intact for order.

* Tweaked the style for webtoon to not span the whole width, but use max width

* When we update a cover image just send an event so we don't need to have logic for when updates occur

* Fixed a bad name for entity type on cover updates

* Aligned the edit collection tag modal to align with new tab design

* Rewrote code for picking the first file for metadata to ensure it always picks the correct file, esp if the first chapter of a series starts with a float (1.1)

* Refactored setting LastChapterAdded to ensure we do it on the Series.

* Updated Chapter updating in scan loop to avoid nested for loop and an additional loop.

* Fixed a bug where locked person fields wouldn't persist between scans.

* Updated Contributing to reflect how to view the swagger api

# 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/) 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) (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 14.X.X or higher)
- .NET 5.0+
### 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`
4. Start angular server `ng serve`
5. Build the project in Visual Studio/Rider, Setting startup project to `API`
6. Debug the project in Visual Studio/Rider
7. Open http://localhost:4200
8. (Deployment only) Run build.sh and pass the Runtime Identifier for your OS or just build.sh for all supported RIDs.
### 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 (Good)
- fix-bug (Good)
- 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 any questions about any of this, please let us know.
