Current Version

v1.0.6

Configuration

App Update uses the Meteor.settings.public.env variable to decide whether or not to intercept app updates.

The package uses the following env strings. production, test, or development

Exmaple settings.json file:

{
  "public": {
    "env": "production"
   }
}

Before initializing you can set any of the following settings (client only):

• AppUpdate.reload.settings.enabled: true or false
• AppUpdate.reload.settings.environments.development: true or false
• AppUpdate.reload.settings.environments.test: true or false
• AppUpdate.reload.settings.environments.production: true or false

Usage

To initialize the AppUpdate package in the Meteor app, call the preventReload() function. It is recommended to call this from the lib folder in the app.

AppUpdate.reload.preventReload().

To prevent refreshing in a development environment:

if(Meteor.isClient) {
  AppUpdate.reload.settings.environments.development = true;
  AppUpdate.reload.preventReload();
}

To notify the user when a new app update is available, simply add the template to your page:

{{> appUpdatePrompt}}
