grunt-nwup v0.0.1

grunt-nwup

Automates the process needed to prepare an update for use with nwup, an NW.js application updater. Creates a zip file that can be applied via nwup to update the application, creates a file latest.json with the latest version and the URL to the latest update, and stores the size of the NW.js runtime needed by nwup in the application's manifest.

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-nwup --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-nwup');

The "nwup" task

grunt.initConfig({
  nwup: {
    options: {
      location: 'http://www.example.com:port/updates/', // URL to the updates location online.
      nw: 'path/to/nw.exe', // Path of NW.js runtime executable used to build the app.
      updateDir: 'updates/', // Output directory updates will be saved to.
    },
   src: ['./build/**/*'] // Your node-webkit app
  }
});
