type Updater ¶

type Updater struct {
	CurrentVersion string // Currently running version.
	ApiURL         string // Base URL for API requests (json files).
	CmdName        string // Command name is appended to the ApiURL like http://apiurl/CmdName/. This represents one binary.
	BinURL         string // Base URL for full binary downloads.
	DiffURL        string // Base URL for diff downloads.
	Dir            string // Directory to store selfupdate state.
	Handler        func()
	CheckInterval  int // in seconds
	Verbose        bool
	Info           struct {
		Version string
		Sha256  []byte
	}
}

Updater is the configuration and runtime data for doing an update.

Note that ApiURL, BinURL and DiffURL should have the same value if all files are available at the same location.

Example:

updater := &selfupdate.Updater{
	CurrentVersion: version,
	ApiURL:         "http://updates.yourdomain.com/",
	BinURL:         "http://updates.yourdownmain.com/",
	DiffURL:        "http://updates.yourdomain.com/",
	Dir:            "update/",
	CmdName:        "myapp", // app name
}
if updater != nil {
	go updater.BackgroundRun()
}
