Pub Updater

Developed with 💙 by Very Good Ventures 🦄

---

A Dart package which enables checking whether packages are up to date and supports updating them.

Intended for use in CLIs for prompting users to auto-update.

Usage

import 'package:pub_updater/pub_updater.dart';

void main() async {
  // Create an instance of PubUpdater
  final pubUpdater = PubUpdater();

  // Check whether or not version 0.1.0 is the latest version of my_package
  final isUpToDate = await pubUpdater.isUpToDate(
    packageName: 'my_package',
    currentVersion: '0.1.0',
  );

  // Trigger an upgrade to the latest version if my_package is not up to date
  if (!isUpToDate) {
    await pubUpdater.update(packageName: 'my_package');
  }

  // You can also query the latest version available for a specific package.
  final latestVersion = await pubUpdater.getLatestVersion('my_package');
}

pub_updater's Issues

New version with process v5?

Hello, I see the PR that upgrades process to v5 was merged a couple of weeks ago. Is there any plan to publish a new version?
Thanks in advance.

fix: bump process to 5.0.0

Support process version 5.0.0.

Support prereleases

When the current release is a prerelease isUpToDate returns false even though the current release is ahead of the latest stable release.

It would be nice if pub_updater would support handling prereleases.

This was found in this issue: invertase/melos#482

Is it possible to get all the used packages from pubspec.yaml

If the user does not want to write all the packages, can you create a method which returns all the used packages?

docs: document test fixture generation

Description

As a maintainer I would like to have proper documentation explaining how to generate test fixtures.

Additional context
Test fixtures such as this one are unintuitively not a plain snapshot (as explained here) of the pub.dev packages response.
