First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute! :tada::+1:
WebUI-Aria2 is an Angular JS 1.x application bundled with webpack. Follow the [Get Started Guide](#get-started) to setup the development environment. You'll need `Node > 6` and latest version of `npm` to build the source files.
## Get Started
To start developing an awesome feature or to fix a bug [fork and clone the repo](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) and then install Node.js > 6 and npm.
Next, install this package's dependencies with npm using `npm install` command.
Then run `npm run dev` command to start an HTTP development server on http://localhost:8888 and to watch and compile the source files.
Use `npm run build` to create a production ready build from source files.
### Useful commands
| Command | Purpose |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `npm install` | will install required dependencies |
| `npm run dev` | will start an HTTP dev server on http://localhost:8888 and will watch and compile the source files |
| `npm run build` | will create a production build from source files |
| `npm run analyze` | will open a bundle analyzer on port http://localhost:9999. Useful for visualizing contents of your bundle |
| `npm run format --silent` | will format your code for consistency using Prettier |

# WebUI-Aria2
![Main interface](/screenshots/overview.png?raw=true)
The aim for this project is to create the worlds best and hottest interface to interact with aria2. aria2 is the worlds best file downloader, but sometimes the command line brings more power than necessary. The project was initially created as part of the GSOC scheme, however it has rapidly grown and changed with tremendous support and feedback from the aria2 community.
Very simple to use, no build scripts, no installation scripts. First start aria2 in the background either in your local machine or in a remote one. You can do that as follows:
````bash
aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all
````
```bash
aria2c --enable-rpc --rpc-listen-all
```
If aria2 is not installed in your local machine then head on to https://aria2.github.io/ and follow the instructions there.
Then download the webui, you can either do that by downloading this repository and running index.html in the browser. Or you could just head on to https://ziahamza.github.io/webui-aria2/ and just start downloading files! After that you can also save it for offline use by saving from the browser save page as option. You can also use node js to create simple server by using the following command from the download folder.
````bash
node node-server.js
````
Then download the webui, you can either do that by downloading this repository and running index.html from build folder in the browser.

# Tips
Tips
====
1. You can always select which files to download in case of torrents or metalinks. Just pause a download and a list icon should appear next to the settings button. To select which files to download before starting the download, give the flag --pause-metadata to aria2. See [link](https://aria2.github.io/manual/en/html/aria2c.html#cmdoption--pause-metadata)
Configuration
=============
Read and edit [configuration.js](configuration.js).
# Configuration
DirectURL
---------
This feature allows users to download files that they download from aria2 directly from the webui dashboard. If you are familiar with how webservers work, setup a http server that points at the configured aria2 download directory, check permissions. Then Specify a full url: ```http://server:port/``` in the webui directURL configuration.
Read and edit [configuration.js](src/js/services/configuration.js).

This image contains both aria2 and webui-aria2.
Build it (may take several hours due to the aria2 compilation process. Don't panic and grab a coffee).
```
docker build -f Dockerfile.arm32v7 -t yourname/webui-aria2 .
```
This command will ends up building three images:
- The first one is just about compiling aria2 and goreman binaries. It MUST be deleted each time the `ARIA2_VERSION` is changed in the Dockerfile, otherwise you won't benefit from the update.
- The second is about building and downloading some go dependencies (goreman and gosu).
- The second one is the acutal aria2 container, the one you must use.
