Kind: class of electron-updater

Properties

  • autoDownload = true Boolean - Whether to automatically download an update when it is found.

  • autoInstallOnAppQuit = true Boolean - Whether to automatically install a downloaded update on app quit (if quitAndInstall was not called before).

  • autoRunAppAfterInstall = true Boolean - windows-only Whether to run the app after finish install when run the installer NOT in silent mode.

  • allowPrerelease = false Boolean - GitHub provider only. Whether to allow update to pre-release versions. Defaults to true if application version contains prerelease components (e.g. 0.12.1-alpha.1, here alpha is a prerelease component), otherwise false.

    If true, downgrade will be allowed (allowDowngrade will be set to true).

  • fullChangelog = false Boolean - GitHub provider only. Get all release notes (from current version to latest), not just the latest.

  • allowDowngrade = false Boolean - Whether to allow version downgrade (when a user from the beta channel wants to go back to the stable channel).

    Taken in account only if channel differs (pre-release version component in terms of semantic versioning).

  • disableWebInstaller = false Boolean - Web installer files might not have signature verification, this switch prevents to load them unless it is needed.

    Currently false to prevent breaking the current API, but it should be changed to default true at some point that breaking changes are allowed.

  • disableDifferentialDownload = false Boolean - NSIS only Disable differential downloads and always perform full download of installer.

  • forceDevUpdateConfig = false Boolean - Allows developer to force the updater to work in “dev” mode, looking for “dev-app-update.yml” instead of “app-update.yml” Dev: path.join(this.app.getAppPath(), "dev-app-update.yml") Prod: path.join(process.resourcesPath!, "app-update.yml")

  • currentVersion SemVer - The current application version.

  • channel String | “undefined” - Get the update channel. Not applicable for GitHub. Doesn’t return channel from the update configuration, only if was previously set.

  • requestHeaders [key: string]: string | “undefined” - The request headers.

  • netSession Electron:Session

  • logger Logger | “undefined” - The logger. You can pass electron-log, winston or another logger with the following interface: { info(), warn(), error() }. Set it to null if you would like to disable a logging feature.
