cordova-plugin-wiaxy-auto

Author: S Naziru Ahmad

Auto-update web assets (JS/CSS/HTML) with hot-reload in Cordova apps. This plugin downloads only the files your server returns as newer, saves them under the app storage (dataDirectory/Documents/www), and intercepts WebView requests to serve updated files — enabling hot-reload without a full app restart.

Quick usage

Install locally:

cordova plugin add /path/to/cordova-plugin-wiaxy-auto

In your app JS:

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function(){
  AutoUpdate.checkAuto('https://your-server.com/check', {}, function(err, info){
    if (err) console.error('update failed', err);
    else console.log('update info', info);
  });
});

Server contract

Request:

GET /check?v[js/app.js]=1.0.2&v[css/style.css]=0.1.0

Response example:

{
  "js/app.js": { "url": "https://cdn.example.com/releases/js/app.1.0.3.js", "version": "1.0.3" },
  "css/style.css": { "url": "https://cdn.example.com/releases/css/style.0.1.1.css", "version": "0.1.1" }
}

Return {} if nothing to update.

Notes

• iOS: you must register the WKURLSchemeHandler or ensure the Cordova WKWebView engine registers the handler for the scheme you use (or use another strategy). See plugin README details in source.
• Security: use HTTPS, validate integrity, use atomic writes and keep rollback strategy.
