• Supports New Architecture: Aligns with the latest developments in React Native, ensuring compatibility with modern applications.

Plugin System

Hot Updater boasts a highly extensible plugin system, where core functionalities like building, storage, and database management are modularized into separate plugins. This design empowers users to tailor their configuration based on specific needs.

Plugin Types

• Build Plugin: Supports popular bundlers including Metro and Re.pack.
• Storage Plugin: Facilitates bundle storage solutions like AWS S3 and Supabase Storage.
• Database Plugin: Manages metadata storage through providers like Supabase Database and PostgreSQL.

Configuration Example

Here’s a brief code snippet demonstrating how to configure Hot Updater using Supabase:

import { metro } from "@hot-updater/metro";
import { supabaseDatabase, supabaseStorage } from "@hot-updater/supabase";
import { defineConfig } from "hot-updater";
import "dotenv/config";

export default defineConfig({
  build: metro(),
  storage: supabaseStorage({
    supabaseUrl: process.env.HOT_UPDATER_SUPABASE_URL!,
    supabaseAnonKey: process.env.HOT_UPDATER_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!,
    bucketName: process.env.HOT_UPDATER_SUPABASE_BUCKET_NAME!,
  }),
  database: supabaseDatabase({
    supabaseUrl: process.env.HOT_UPDATER_SUPABASE_URL!,
    supabaseAnonKey: process.env.HOT_UPDATER_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY!,
  }),
});
