Display cached crates in UI about kellnr HOT 6 CLOSED

Hello and thank you for kellnr.

This a very important feature for kellnr, my use case is mostly using cashed crates locally as an alternative to crates.io registry, it is important to be able to view a listing of those cached crates including generating docs for them.

I hope you consider this feature a priority.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't plan to generate the docs for the cached crates, but I'll look into that.

I would love to see this feature enabled as well to allow looking at the cached crates.

TODO:

• Add max_version column to cratesio_crate table
• Add documentation column to cratesio_meta table (link to docs.rs)
• Add icon to UI in Crates view, to distinguish between kellnr and crates.io crates (add icon to CrateCard)
• Add switch in UI in Crates view, to enable or disable the display and search of cached crates
• Add conditional search for cached crates to search endpoint in web_ui.rs

Q: How to handle, if the crate card is clicked in the UI?

1. Forward to the corresponding crates.io page
2. Show all details of the crate, like it is done for kellnr crates

• All missing values need to be added to the DB

For the first iteration, linking to crates.io seems fine.

Have to think about linking to crates.io as stated above, as the list of cached versions of a crate would not be accessibly with this approach. If a click on the CrateCard forwards to crates.io instead of opening the Crate view, which displays the available version, this information is lost to the user.

For the first iteration, I decided to just link to crates.io. Everything else can be delivered if requested in later versions.
