Auto-update functionality #13

Open dbkaplun opened 8 years ago

zz85 commented 8 years ago

Are you referring to the visualizations auto updating, or are you referring to have the app auto update itself when there are updates?

dbkaplun commented 8 years ago

I meant having the app auto-update itself when there are updates. Is that feasible?

zz85 commented 8 years ago

Yes, that is possible but I'll need to look into how I can do it. From what it seems, it might require bundling it into the installer.

I found this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/electron-updater

zz85 commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the link, I'll give it a try!

For now I'm quite happy with automatic releases with electron-packager (with the exception of tweaking Mac builds), but I would probably want to look into https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder the next round..

Electron now have an official service for self updating apps https://electronjs.org/blog/autoupdating-electron-apps
