Update remote bundles

The updater bridge drives an over-the-air update from web code inside the webview: check for a newer bundle, download it, install it, then reload.

Update flow

getUpdate reports whether a newer version is available. download stages it (verify and write to the native source store), install activates it, and a reload serves it.

import { updater } from '@wvb/bridge';

async function checkForUpdate(bundleName: string) {
  const update = await updater.getUpdate(bundleName);
  if (!update.isAvailable) {
    return;
  }

  await updater.download(bundleName);
  await updater.install(bundleName, update.version);

  // Reload so the webview serves the newly installed bundle.
  window.location.reload();
}

getUpdate resolves to a BundleUpdateInfo: version is what the remote offers, localVersion is what is installed. Check isAvailable before staging.

Configure the updater first

The bridge only forwards these calls to the native host — the updater and its remote live on the native side. See your platform's guide to wire them up.
