Plugin System

Build Plugin

Build plugins handle the bundling process when you run the hot-updater deploy command. They generate the JavaScript bundles for your updates.

Supported Plugins

• @hot-updater/bare: Executes the bundle command through React Native CLI. Bundles through Metro or Re.Pack.
• @hot-updater/rock: Executes the bundle command through Rock(Formerly RNEF).
• @hot-updater/expo: Executes the bundle command through Expo.

Storage Plugin

Storage plugins upload your generated bundles during the hot-updater deploy command and store them in your chosen storage provider.

Storage plugins expose explicit environment profiles:

• node: deploy-time APIs for upload, delete, and local file downloads.
• runtime: update-check APIs for HTTP(S) download URLs and small metadata reads.

hot-updater.config.ts uses the node profile. createHotUpdater uses the runtime profile. Most apps can use the official storage plugins directly; custom plugin authors only need the profile details when implementing their own storage provider.

Supported Plugins

• @hot-updater/supabase: Provides supabaseStorage functionality, leveraging Supabase for storage.
• @hot-updater/cloudflare: Provides deploy-time r2Storage and Worker runtime storage for Cloudflare R2.
• @hot-updater/aws: Provides s3Storage functionality, enabling the use of AWS S3 for storage.
• @hot-updater/firebase: Provides firebaseStorage functionality, utilizing Firebase Storage for storing update bundles.

Database plugins store bundle metadata that your app uses to check for updates. They run during the hot-updater deploy command.

• @hot-updater/aws: Provides s3Database functionality, utilizing AWS for database storage.
• @hot-updater/cloudflare: Provides d1Database functionality, leveraging Cloudflare D1 for database storage.
