Snider 0ef41ef642 feat(update): auto-restart after update to load new version
Uses syscall.Exec on Unix to replace the current process with the
updated binary, running --version to confirm. On Windows, falls back
to a message asking to restart manually.

Core Element Template

This repository is a template for developers to create custom HTML elements for the core web3 framework. It includes a Go backend, an Angular custom element, and a full release cycle configuration.

Getting Started

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/core-element-template.git
    
  2. Install the dependencies:

    cd core-element-template
    go mod tidy
    cd ui
    npm install
    
  3. Run the development server:

    go run ./cmd/demo-cli serve
    

    This will start the Go backend and serve the Angular custom element.

Building the Custom Element

To build the Angular custom element, run the following command:

cd ui
npm run build

This will create a single JavaScript file in the dist directory that you can use in any HTML page.

Usage

To use the updater library in your Go project, you can use the UpdateService.

GitHub-based Updates

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/snider/updater"
)

func main() {
	config := updater.UpdateServiceConfig{
		RepoURL:        "https://github.com/owner/repo",
		Channel:        "stable",
		CheckOnStartup: updater.CheckAndUpdateOnStartup,
	}

	updateService, err := updater.NewUpdateService(config)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create update service: %v", err)
	}

	if err := updateService.Start(); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Update check failed: %v\n", err)
	}
}

Generic HTTP Updates

For updates from a generic HTTP server, the server should provide a latest.json file at the root of the RepoURL. The JSON file should have the following structure:

{
  "version": "1.2.3",
  "url": "https://your-server.com/path/to/release-asset"
}

You can then configure the UpdateService as follows:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/snider/updater"
)

func main() {
	config := updater.UpdateServiceConfig{
		RepoURL:        "https://your-server.com",
		CheckOnStartup: updater.CheckAndUpdateOnStartup,
	}

	updateService, err := updater.NewUpdateService(config)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf("Failed to create update service: %v", err)
	}

	if err := updateService.Start(); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Update check failed: %v\n", err)
	}
}
