Configuring updates

[amiranagram]

Hi, a web-dev here, learning electron. How can I tell the builder to generate .nupkg files? Also is there no updater? I have configured an update server and currently I'm stuck on the last step. See here.

Your application just need to configure Update.exe or Squirrel.Windows

Also this is the code in my background.js where it checks for updates.

require('update-electron-app')()

const server = 'https://gynops-updater.herokuapp.com/'
const url = `${server}/update/${process.platform}/${app.getVersion()}`

autoUpdater.setFeedURL({ url })

setInterval(() => {
    autoUpdater.checkForUpdates()
}, 60000)

autoUpdater.on('update-downloaded', (event, releaseNotes, releaseName) => {
    const dialogOpts = {
        type: 'info',
        buttons: ['Restart', 'Later'],
        title: 'Application Update',
        message: process.platform === 'win32' ? releaseNotes : releaseName,
        detail: 'A new version has been downloaded. Restart the application to apply the updates.'
    }

    dialog.showMessageBox(dialogOpts).then((returnValue) => {
        if (returnValue.response === 0) autoUpdater.quitAndInstall()
    })
})

Help is appreciated.

Since this plugin uses electron-builder to package the application, you should use their updater. Follow this guide to set it up with your project. The updater you are trying to use appears to be for a different packaging method.
