Introduction

React Transmission is an ongoing reimplementation of Transmission web interface.

You can find the original web interface source code here

The official Transmission repository

Goals

• Bump technology used: More modern frameworks and technologies for a better modularization, performance and correctness.
• Accelerate development: With the new set of technologies and components available in this project, new features are easier to implement.
• Javascript best practices: Better source modularization, more documentation, source linting and many other improvements.
• More reliable & accurate behaviour: Guarantee always that the interface reacts as expected and doesn't face UI race conditions.
• Tested: A set of tests to guarantee the everything works as expected.
• Internationalization: to be able to translate the interface easialy to other languages.

Roadmap

• First stage: achieve 100% feature parity with the original web interface.
• Second stage: present this project to the main Transmission development team to be evaluated
• Third stage: merge this project to the Transmission repository
• Fourth stage: improve the user interface with new features, more tests, add new languages, etc.

Technology

• Webpack
• React
• Mobx
• CSS modules

Requirements

• Node 4.5

Installation

If you want to test this project without dealing with all the Node.js stuff, you can download the lastest release from here:

https://github.com/fcsonline/react-transmission/releases

Decompress it with:

unzip react-transmission-X.X.X.zip

Then, set this environment variable in your .bashrc

export TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME=<path to react-transmission>

And start your Transmission instance. If everything gone well, your react-transmission instance should be like the previous one but you can differenciate because the background is a bit light yellow.

Happy testing!
