Electron Auto Updater [Main Process]

[Kronenberg]

Question is: as i understand correctly i can run Auto Updater only from main process, but in this boilerplate how i can hook the main process, does anyone can provide me an example.
Great Thx!

In main.dev.js

import AppUpdater from "./AppUpdater";
// Put the next line within the window creation function
new AppUpdater();

In a new file named AppUpdater

import { autoUpdater } from "electron-updater"

export default class AppUpdater {
  constructor() {
    const log = require("electron-log")
    log.transports.file.level = "info"
    autoUpdater.logger = log
    autoUpdater.checkForUpdatesAndNotify()
  }
}

@slapbox I think this should be put in the docs itself as this was a hard find. I mean the main.dev.js contents :)

@slapbox Thanks but I thought this was Electron Builder Repo lol 😂 & I came looking from there. But anyways thank you.

Haha I'd hope it would be easier to find in their docs!
