init static method

Future<void> init({ required String baseUrl, required String projectSlug, String channel = 'stable', bool checkOnStartup = true, Duration startupDelay = const Duration(seconds: 3), Color primaryColor = const Color(0xFF0D9488), AutoUpdaterStrings strings = const AutoUpdaterStrings(), })

Initialize the auto-updater with ReleaseHub backend.

Call this once at app startup, typically in your main() function.

baseUrl - The ReleaseHub server URL (e.g., 'https://app.v2.sk') projectSlug - Your project's slug/identifier channel - Release channel (default: 'stable') checkOnStartup - Whether to check for updates on init (default: true) startupDelay - Delay before startup check (default: 3 seconds) primaryColor - Color for UI elements (default: teal) strings - Custom strings for localization

Example:

await AutoUpdater.init(
  baseUrl: 'https://app.v2.sk',
  projectSlug: 'my-app',
  channel: 'stable',
);

With localization:

await AutoUpdater.init(
  baseUrl: 'https://app.v2.sk',
  projectSlug: 'my-app',
  strings: AutoUpdaterStrings(
    updateAvailable: 'Aktualizácia dostupná',
    download: 'Stiahnuť',
    later: 'Neskôr',
  ),
);

Implementation

static Future<void> init({
  required String baseUrl,
  required String projectSlug,
  String channel = 'stable',
  bool checkOnStartup = true,
  Duration startupDelay = const Duration(seconds: 3),
  Color primaryColor = const Color(0xFF0D9488), // Teal
  AutoUpdaterStrings strings = const AutoUpdaterStrings(),
}) async {
  if (_instance != null) {
    debugPrint('[AutoUpdater] Already initialized');
    return;
  }

  final config = AutoUpdaterConfig.releaseHub(
    baseUrl: baseUrl,
    projectSlug: projectSlug,
    channel: channel,
    checkOnStartup: checkOnStartup,
    startupDelay: startupDelay,
  );

  _instance = AutoUpdaterStandalone(
    config: config,
    ui: AutoUpdaterDefaultUI.create(
      primaryColor: primaryColor,
      strings: strings,
      navigatorKey: _navigatorKey,
      scaffoldMessengerKey: _scaffoldKey,
    ),
  );

  await _instance!.initialize();
  debugPrint('[AutoUpdater] Initialized for $projectSlug on $baseUrl');
}
