Updating JOPS

How you update JOPS depends on where your page loads the library from.

npm project
CDN

Install the new version into node_modules:
Terminal window
```
npm i jops-core@latest
```
Copy it into your project, where the browser loads it from:
Terminal window
```
npx jops-core update
```
Reload the page (a hard reload clears a cached copy of the old file).

Run both commands. npm i only updates node_modules, which the browser never loads. npx jops-core update copies the new lib/jops-core.min.js into your project. Running update without npm i first has no effect: it copies whatever version is already in node_modules.

In web, Cordova and Capacitor projects, the "postinstall": "jops-core update" script that init adds runs step 2 for you after every npm install. Projects created before 1.1.8 have "postinstall": "npx jops-core init", which shows the template question on every npm install (since 1.1.8 it uses 5, None, when nobody answers; before, npm install failed in CI). Change it to "postinstall": "jops-core update".

Change the version in the URL, in both the import map and the script tag:

<script type="importmap">
{
  "imports": {
    "jops-core": "https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jops-core@1.1.10/lib/jops-core.min.js"
  }
}
</script>
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/jops-core@1.1.10/lib/jops-core.min.js" data-app="./src/App.js"></script>

With @latest you get new releases automatically, once the CDN refreshes its cache.

Where `update` copies the library

npx jops-core update knows the project types the CLI supports:

Project	Library copied to
Web project	`lib/jops-core.min.js`
Next.js project	`public/lib/jops-core.min.js`
Electron project	`src/lib/jops-core.min.js`
Cordova / Capacitor	`lib/` inside the web folder (`www/` or your `webDir`)
WordPress	also refreshes an installed JOPS plugin

Update notices

After each command, the CLI checks npm for a newer jops-core and prints a notice when one is available:

[jops-core] Update available: 1.1.9 → 1.1.10
            npm i jops-core@latest && npx jops-core update

The check takes at most 1.5 seconds and stays silent when you are offline. Turn it off with --no-update-check or the environment variable JOPS_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1. It is skipped automatically when CI is set.

See the CLI reference for every command and flag.
