What is "Update"?

Update is a new, open-source developer framework for automating updates of any kind to code projects. All actual updating is done plugins called "updaters", like this one.

Updaters can be run from the command line when Update's CLI is installed globally, or they can be used as building blocks for creating other updaters.

For more information:

• Visit the update project
• Visit the update documentation
• Find updaters on npm (help us author updaters)

Usage

Heads up!: Always make sure your work is committed before running update.

Install

Install Update's CLI and updater-eslint:

Installing the CLI

To run updater-eslint from the command line, you'll need to install Update globally first. You can do that now with the following command:

$ npm install --global update

This adds the update command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.

Install updater-eslint

Install this module with the following command:

$ npm install --global updater-eslint

Running updater-eslint

You should now be able to run updater-eslint with the following command:

$ update readme

What will this do?

This updater's default task will replace the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory with either ~/templates/_eslintrc.json (defined by you in user home), or if a template does not exist in user home the default template will be used.

Running tasks

Tasks on updater-eslint are by run using the syntax eslint:foo, where foo is the task name:

Example

The following will run the bar task from updater foo:

$ update foo:bar
          ^   ^
    updater  task

Default task

If a task is not explicitly passed Update's CLI will run the default task.

Tasks

eslint

Update the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory.

Example

$ update eslint

eslint:new

Adds a new .eslintrc.json file by running generate-eslint. The template is customizable. This task is also aliased as eslint-new to provide a semantic task name for calling this task programmatically.

Example

$ update eslint:new

eslint:del

Delete the eslintrc and jshint files in the current working directory. Also aliased as eslint-del to provide a semantic task name for calling this task programmatically.

Example

$ update eslint:del

eslint

Alias to allow running the eslint task with the following command:

Example

$ update eslint

Visit Update's task documentation.

Plugin usage

Use updater-eslint as a plugin in your own updater.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save updater-eslint

Register

Inside your own updater:

module.exports = function(app) {
  // register updater-eslint as a plugin
  app.use(require('updater-eslint'));

  // run the `default` task on updater-eslint
  app.task('eslint', function(cb) {
    app.update('updater-eslint', cb);
  });

  // run a specific task on updater-eslint 
  // (where `foo` is the name of the task to run)
  app.task('eslint', function(cb) {
    app.update('updater-eslint:foo', cb);
  });
};

Visit the updater docs to learn more about creating, installing, using and publishing updaters.

Customization

Overriding templates

You can override a template by adding a template of the same name to the templates directory in user home. For example, to override the _eslintrc.json template, add a template at the following path ~/templates/_eslintrc.json.
