Already bundled are some methods to provide a self-update mechanism via Github. Usually you need this when distributing a self-hosted Laravel application that needs some updating mechanism, as you do not want to bother your lovely users with Git and/or Composer commands ;-) Install with Composer --------------------- [](#install-with-composer) There are currently two branches: - `master`: Compatible with PHP 7.x - `5.x`: Compatible with PHP 5.5 + 5.6 *Please select the right branch for your PHP version accordingly.* To install the latest version from the master using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): ``` $ composer require codedge/laravel-selfupdater ``` This adds the *codedge/laravel-selfupdater* package to your `composer.json` and downloads the project. You need to include the service provider in your `config/app.php` `[1]` and optionally the *facade* `[2]`: ``` // config/app.php return [ //... 'providers' => [ // ... Codedge\Updater\UpdaterServiceProvider::class, // [1] ], // ... 'aliases' => [ // ... 'Updater' => Codedge\Updater\UpdaterManager::class, // [2] ] ``` Additionally add the listener to your `app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php`: ``` // app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php /** * The event handler mappings for the application. * * @var array */ protected $listen = [ // ... \Codedge\Updater\Events\UpdateAvailable::class => [ \Codedge\Updater\Listeners\SendUpdateAvailableNotification::class ], \Codedge\Updater\Events\UpdateSucceeded::class => [ \Codedge\Updater\Listeners\SendUpdateSucceededNotification::class ], ]; ``` Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) After installing the package you need to publish the configuration file via ``` $ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Codedge\Updater\UpdaterServiceProvider" ``` **Note:** Please enter correct value for vendor and repository name in your `config/self-updater.php` if you want to use Github as source for your updates. ### Running artisan commands [](#running-artisan-commands) Artisan commands can be run before or after the update process and can be configured in `config/self-updater.php`: **Example:** ``` 'artisan_commands' => [ 'pre_update' => [ 'updater:prepare' => [ 'class' => \App\Console\Commands\PreUpdateTasks::class, 'params' => [] ], ], 'post_update' => [ 'postupdate:cleanup' => [ 'class' => \App\Console\Commands\PostUpdateCleanup::class, 'params' => [ 'log' => 1, 'reset' => false, // etc. ] ] ] ] ``` ### Notifications via email [](#notifications-via-email) You need to specify a recipient email address and a recipient name to receive update available notifications. You can specify these values by adding `SELF_UPDATER_MAILTO_NAME` and `SELF_UPDATER_MAILTO_ADDRESS` to your `.env` file. Config nameDescriptionSELF\_UPDATER\_MAILTO\_NAMEName of email recipientSELF\_UPDATER\_MAILTO\_ADDRESSAddress of email recipientSELF\_UPDATER\_MAILTO\_UPDATE\_AVAILABLE\_SUBJECTSubject of update available emailSELF\_UPDATER\_MAILTO\_UPDATE\_SUCCEEDED\_SUBJECTSubject of update succeeded emailUsage ----- [](#usage) To start an update process, i. e. in a controller, just use: ``` public function update() { // This downloads and install the latest version of your repo Updater::update(); // Just download the source and do the actual update elsewhere Updater::fetch(); // Check if a new version is available and pass current version Updater::isNewVersionAvailable('1.2'); } ``` Of course you can inject the *updater* via method injection: ``` public function update(UpdaterManager $updater) { $updater->update(); // Same as above // .. and shorthand for this: $updater->source()->update; $updater->fetch() // Same as above... } ``` **Note:** Currently the fetching of the source is a *synchronous* process. It is not run in background. ### Using Github [](#using-github) The package comes with a *Github* source repository type to fetch releases from Github - basically use Github to pull the latest version of your software. Just make sure you set the proper repository in your `config/self-updater.php`file. Extending and adding new source repository types ------------------------------------------------ [](#extending-and-adding-new-source-repository-types) You want to pull your new versions from elsewhere? Feel free to create your own source repository type somewhere but keep in mind for the new source repository type: - It *needs to* extend **AbstractRepositoryType** - It *needs to* implement **SourceRepositoryTypeContract** So the perfect class head looks like ``` class BitbucketRepositoryType extends AbstractRepositoryType implements SourceRepositoryTypeContract ``` Afterwards you may create your own [service provider](https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/providers), i. e. BitbucketUpdaterServiceProvider, with your boot method like so: ``` public function boot() { Updater::extend('bitbucket', function($app) { return Updater::sourceRepository(new BitbucketRepositoryType); }); } ``` Now you call your own update source with: ``` public function update(UpdaterManager $updater) { $updater->source('bitbucket')->update(); } ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Please see the [contributing guide](CONTRIBUTING.md).
