Scriptable Auto Update

This simple wrapper for your Scriptable code automatically updates it locally every day.

Motivation

I'm a big fan of the Scriptable app. It's an excellent tool for creating custom widgets, for example. When sharing my code with other people, I didn't find an easy way to fix bugs or add features afterward. This wrapper aims to solve this challenge.

Features

• Automatically downloads your latest code every day from a URL
• If the update fails, it uses the latest locally available version
• Cleans up old locally saved versions automatically
• Executes your code every time it gets run

Usage

The wrapper will run the main() function of your code every time it gets executed. Therefore it's necessary to export the function at the end of your file like so:

module.exports = {
  main
};

Copy the content from main.js and add your custom values to the scriptName & scriptUrl variables at the top of the file. Then simply paste it into Scriptable. The wrapper will automatically load and update your code from the URL.

Example

Take a look inside the example folder to see an implementation example.
Want to try it out? Then simply copy the content of example/main.js and paste it into Scriptable!

Still working?

That's a very interesting approach. Is this script still working for you? When I copy the code from example/main.js to my iPhone (iOS 15.7). It's not working for me. I get the following error.
