Add a dashboard view to have an overview of the current state of the application

[hauxir]

You can already view http://HOSTNAME/status to get a JSON overview of things. Better would be to add a nice view of this under /dashboard or something like that.

I'd like to take a crack at this!

Sounds good! Just contact me if you have any problems.

any updates on this?

Sorry for the delay on this! It took me a while to understand how things were structured.

Would you be able to provide an example of what subtitle_downloads, torrent_downloads, session_torrents, and conversions returned by the /status route should look like? They're the only things I haven't quite figured out as of now.

No worries!

• subtitle_downloads referes to subtitles being downloaded for a particular file. The key is the filename and possible values are here https://github.com/hauxir/rapidbay/blob/master/app/rapidbaydaemon.py#L96
• torrent_downloads show the currently downloading+converting files in torrents. The keys are the magnet hashes and the value is an object where the keys are the filenames. the key for each filename is peers(number of connected peers), progress(0-1) that shows the download progress and status which is one of the values here https://github.com/hauxir/rapidbay/blob/master/app/rapidbaydaemon.py#L80. This is probably the most important information for the dashboard.
• conversions is an object that contains the files currently being converted. The keys are filenames and the value is simply true.

If you have any more questions just hit me up!

Apologies, but I ended up not having as much time as I would've liked to work on this! I've got a partial implementation of a dashboard that I could put up as a pull request.

It's got views for torrent downloads, in-progress conversions, subtitle downloads, a hierarchical view of the output directory, file directory, and download directory.

If you'd like me to submit a PR for the partial I've got, let me know!

Sure, just submit it and i'll have a look :)
