#update-manager

update-manager is a simple to use Node Packaged Module to keep all your files up to date.

There are several different use-cases. For example you can use it to deliver continuously new versions of your files. You can also use it for lazy loading.

##How it works The usage is quite simple. You simply call the update-manager with a config object which contains a extractPath and a URL to a version.json.

Everytime the update-manager is called, he compares the local version and the remote version. If the remote version is greater than the local, the download starts automatically.

###Installation

npm install update-manager

###The version file

{
    "version": "1.1.1",
    "updateURL": "http://example.com/path/to/your/files.zip"
}

###How to use

var updateManager = require('update-manager');

var config = {
    updateVersionURL: 'http://example.com/path/to/your/version.json',
    extractPath: 'global/path/to/your/dest'
}

// everytime init() is called, the update-manager looks for a new available version
function init() {
    updateManager.update(config);
}
