Compression Strategy

Supported Formats

• zip - Standard ZIP format (DEFLATE algorithm). Fast compression and decompression.
• tar.gz - TAR archive with GZIP compression (LZ77 algorithm). ~10-15% smaller than ZIP.
• tar.br - TAR archive with Brotli compression. ~20-30% smaller than GZIP. Developed by Google for web compression.

Configuration

Set compressStrategy in your hot-updater.config.ts:

import { defineConfig } from 'hot-updater';

export default defineConfig({
  // ... other options
  compressStrategy: 'tar.gz', // 'zip' | 'tar.gz' | 'tar.br'
});

Usage

After setting the compression strategy, deploy your bundle:

npx hot-updater deploy -p ios
npx hot-updater deploy -p android

The bundle will be compressed and deployed using the specified format.

How it works:

• The client app automatically detects the compression format (ZIP, GZIP, or Brotli) and decompresses accordingly
• Users download the compressed bundle, reducing bandwidth usage
• Choose a format with better compression ratio to minimize download size and save users' data
