npm install aria2

---

var Aria2 = require('aria2');

or

<script src="node_modules/aria2/lib/index.js"></script>

var Aria2 = window.Aria2

↑

Usage

var aria2 = new Aria2([options]);

default options are

{
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6800,
  secure: false,
  secret: ''
}

Secret is optional and refers to --rpc-secret.

↑

open

aria2.open() opens the WebSocket connection.

aria2.onopen = function() {
  console.log('aria2 open');
};
aria2.open();

↑

close

aria2.close() closes the WebSocket connection.

aria2.onclose = function() {
  console.log('aria2 closed!');
};
aria2.close();

↑

onsend and onmessage

aria2.onsend() is called everytime a message is being sent aria2.onmessage() is called everytime a message has been received.

aria2.onsend = function(m) {
  console.log('aria2 OUT', m);
};
aria2.onmessage = function(m) {
  console.log('aria2 IN', m);
};

aria2 methods

For a complete listing see aria2 methods.

Note that if you have passed the secret option to aria2.js, it will be automatically added it to every request so there is no need to include it.

When sending a request to aria2, if the WebSocket is closed, aria2.js will use the HTTP transport.

For every aria2 methods you can use

aria2.getVersion([params,] function(err, res) {
  console.log(err || res);
});

or

aria2.send('getVersion', [params,] function(err, res) {
  console.log(err || res);
});

↑

aria2 events

For a complete listing see aria2 notifications.

For every notifications you can bind a function.

aria2.onDownloadStart = function(gid) {
  console.log(gid);
};
