Update needs to prompt the user, need to control whether the application updates
1. One way
Prompts the user when an update is detected, allowing the user to select an update.
Set the autoDownload parameter to false so that the application detects that updates do not automatically download and changes to manually download updates.
Add a dialog to prompt the user to select the hook update-available.
If response is 0, the user selects yes and the downloadUpdate method is triggered to download the application update package for subsequent update operations. Otherwise, do not download the update package.
If we don’t set autoDownload to false, the problem is that the app downloads automatically and updates without blocking while the dialog pops up before the user has time to select it.

The important code is as follows:
autoUpdater.autoDownload = false
Copy the codeA dialog box pops up in the update-available hook
autoUpdater.on('update-available'.(ev, info) = > {
// // irreversible process
const options = {
type: 'info'.buttons: ['sure'.'cancel'].title: 'Update Prompt'.// ${info.version} Cannot read property 'version' of undefined
message: 'New version found. Update? '.cancelId: 1
}
dialog.showMessageBox(options).then(res= > {
if (res.response === 0) {
autoUpdater.downloadUpdate()
logger.info('Update package downloaded successfully')
sendStatusToWindow('Update package downloaded successfully');
} else {
return; }})})Copy the code2. 2
Prompt the user after the update download, let the user choose to update.
Set the autoInstallOnAppQuit parameter to false to prevent the application from automatically updating when an update package is detected.
Add a dialog in the hook update-downloaded to prompt the user to choose.
If response is 0, the user selects YES and updates the application. Otherwise, the current application is not updated.
If we don’t set autoInstallOnAppQuit to false, then the problem is: the first time we open the app, the app closes immediately before we see the main screen, the app updates silently, and the important thing is not to restart the app after the update.
The important code is as follows:
// Indicates that the downloaded package is not automatically updated
autoUpdater.autoInstallOnAppQuit = falseIn the update-downloaded hook, the autoupdater. on('update-downloaded'.(ev, releaseNotes, releaseName) = > {
logger.info('Download complete, update started')
sendStatusToWindow('Download complete, update started');
// Wait 5 seconds, then quit and install
// In your application, you don't need to wait 5 seconds.
// You could call autoUpdater.quitAndInstall(); immediately
const options = {
type: 'info'.buttons: ['sure'.'cancel'].title: 'Apply updates'.message: process.platform === 'win32' ? releaseNotes : releaseName,
detail: 'New version found. Update? '
}
dialog.showMessageBox(options).then(returnVal= > {
if (returnVal.response === 0) {
logger.info('Start updating')
setTimeout(() = > {
autoUpdater.quitAndInstall()
}, 5000);
} else {
logger.info('Cancel update')
return}})});Copy the code3. Source code analysis
Not pack directory in: electron – builder/packages/electron – updater/SRC/AppUpdater ts. Pack it in the electron-updater\out\AppUpdater. D. ts
- Start by going to the checkForUpdates() method and checking for updates
- Updating does not require entry
- Check autoDownload before update. If it is true, autoDownload is automatically downloaded; if it is false, do not download and wait for application notification.
