Usage
import { Release, getRelease } from '@hashicorp/js-releases';
// Setting a user agent string is optional but helpful!
const userAgent = `Example-Program/1.0.0 js-releases/dev`;
// Download metadata for a release using a semver range or "latest"
// "latest" is set by default if no range is included
const release = await getRelease("terraform-ls", "latest", userAgent);
// Include pre-releases in the semver range
const preRelease = await getRelease("terraform-ls", "^1.0.pre-0", userAgent, true);
// Select metadata for a build matching a given OS and arch
const build = release.getBuild(os, arch);
// Download the release to an install path
const installPath = "/hc_product/downloads"
await release.download(build.url, installPath, userAgent);
// Verify the release shasum and signature
await release.verify(installPath, build.filename);
// Unpack the release from the install path to a destination
const destination = "/usr/local/bin"
return release.unpack(installPath, destination)
Validating releases
Packages are verified using HashiCorp's public GPG key 72D7468F
. The previous key was rotated and revoked per HCSEC-2021-12 on 2021-04-22. As a result, earlier versions of js-releases
will no longer be able to verify packages.
