Update

SDK & Tooling Updates

Stay up to date with the latest tooling from Moddable and supported device targets. As with the setup command, the current dev environment (Mac or Linux) is the default selected target:

xs-dev update

Interactive Input

By default, this command may prompt during the update process. To override this behavior, use the --noInteractive flag.

If there is a environment variable called CI set to true, then this command will be non-interactive and automatically accept all prompts.

Tagged Release

The default behavior of this command for Moddable developer tooling pulls the latest release tooling and source code for the associated tagged branch. This provides a known-working state for the SDK and avoids needing to build the tooling on the local machine.

To override this behavior, use the --release flag to select a tagged release version; this fetches the pre-compiled release assets and latest commit off that tag.

xs-dev update --release 5.3.0

This will only work for the mac, windows, and linux device options, which are the respective defaults for the operating system on which the command is run.

Target Branch

To override this behavior, use the --branch flag to select public; this fetches the latest commit off that main branch and runs the build to generate the associated tools.

xs-dev update --branch public

This will only work for the mac, windows, and linux device options, which are the respective defaults for the operating system on which the command is run.

Device Updates

While the update command provides the latest Moddable SDK for the dev environment, the --device flag selects another platform target SDK to set up. It ensures the Moddable SDK has been installed first.

The --device flag allows for selecting a different target platform:

xs-dev update --device esp32

There may be some platforms that are supported by the setup command but not update yet.
