Package Exports
- updater-example
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (updater-example) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

This is an example updater for the update library, to provide a basic demonstration of how updaters work.

Install
Install update
If you haven't already installed update globally, you can do that now with the following command:
$ npm i -g updateInstall updater-example
Then install this module:
$ npm i -g update-exampleUsage
Add a file named example.txt to the current working directory, then run the updater with the following command:
$ update exampleWhat will happen?
This updater will only modify a file named example.txt in the current working directory. By default it just adds the string foo.
Try the following steps to get familiarized with how update works:
- run
$ update exampleto execute the default task, which will append the stringfooto the file's contents. - run
$ update example:footo execute thefootask, appending the stringfooto the file's contents - run
$ update example:barto execute thebartask, appending the stringbarto the file's contents - run
$ update example.abcto execute the default task on theabc(sub-)updater, appending the stringabc:defaultto the file's contents - run
$ update example.abc:xyzto execute thexyztask on theabc(sub-)updater, appending the stringabc:xyzto the file's contents
