More control over hot code push reloading for your production apps. Designed to replace mdg:reload-on-resume and provide a more production-ready approach.

meteor add jamielob:reloader

No setup required, just add the package. The default options are shown below. You can override them anywhere in your client/lib folder.

Reloader.configure({
	check: 'everyStart', 
	checkTimer: 3000, 
	idleCutoff: 1000 * 60 * 10 //10 minutes
});

check: When to make additional checks for new code bundles. everyStart, firstStart or false.

checkTimer: How long to wait when checking for new files bundles.

idleCutoff: How long (in ms) can an app be idle before we do an additional check for new files. Defaults at 10 minutes. Set to 0 to never do an additional check on resume.

These default options will make sure that your app is up to date every time a user starts your app, or comes back to it after 10 minutes of being idle.

You can also override the above options with:

Reloader.configure({
	refreshInstantly: true
});

If set, your app will have similar behaviour to the default in Meteor, with code updates being refreshed immeidately. The only improvement/difference is that the app's splash screen is displayed during the refresh.

Reloader.updateAvailable is a reactive variable that returns true when an update has been downloaded.

Reloader.updateAvailable.get(); //Reactively returns true if an update is ready

This package provides a template helper that retrieves the value of the reactiveVar easily.

{{#if updateAvailable}}
  	<p>Update available!</p>
{{/if}}

It also provides an easy reload event that you can attach to a button that will briefly show the splash screen and update to the latest version. Simply add the reloader-update attribute to a button.

{{#if updateAvailable}}
	<a class="button" reloader-update>Tap here to update!</a>
{{/if}}
