Advanced Usage

If you want more control over the update process, you can use the following methods:

1. fetchLatestBundle(): Check for updates without downloading them.
2. downloadBundle(): Download updates without applying them.
3. setNextBundle(): Set a new bundle as the next bundle to be applied.
4. reload(): Apply the new bundle immediately.

Check for updates

You can check for new bundles without downloading them by using the fetchLatestBundle() method:

import { LiveUpdate } from "@capawesome/capacitor-live-update";

const checkForUpdates = async () => {
  const result = await LiveUpdate.fetchLatestBundle();
  if (result.bundleId) {
    console.log("New update available: " + result.downloadUrl);
  } else {
    console.log("No update available");
  }
};

This method returns all important information about the latest bundle, including the bundle ID and the download URL.

Download updates

You can then download bundles by using the downloadBundle() method:

import { LiveUpdate } from "@capawesome/capacitor-live-update";

const downloadUpdate = async (bundleId: string, url: string) => {
  await LiveUpdate.downloadBundle({
    bundleId,
    url
  });
};

This method downloads the bundle, extracts the files, and moves them to the correct location in your app.

Apply updates

You can set a new bundle as the next bundle to be applied by using the setNextBundle() method:

import { LiveUpdate } from "@capawesome/capacitor-live-update";

const setNextBundle = async (bundleId: string) => {
  await LiveUpdate.setNextBundle({
    bundleId,
  });
};

If the bundle should be applied immediately, you can also call the reload() method:

import { LiveUpdate } from "@capawesome/capacitor-live-update";

const reload = async () => {
  await LiveUpdate.reload();
};
