History

Hannah Wolfe 6161f94910 Updated to use assert/strict everywhere (#17047 ) refs: https://github.com/TryGhost/Toolbox/issues/595 We're rolling out new rules around the node assert library, the first of which is enforcing the use of assert/strict. This means we don't need to use the strict version of methods, as the standard version will work that way by default. This caught some gotchas in our existing usage of assert where the lack of strict mode had unexpected results: - Url matching needs to be done on `url.href` see `aa58b354a4` - Null and undefined are not the same thing, there were a few cases of this being confused - Particularly questionable changes in [PostExporter tests](`c1a468744b`) tracked [here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Team/issues/3505). - A typo see `eaac9c293a` Moving forward, using assert strict should help us to catch unexpected behaviour, particularly around nulls and undefineds during implementation.		2023-06-21 09:56:59 +01:00

Update Check Service

Makes a request to updates.ghost.org to check for release & custom notifications. The service is provided in return for users opting in to anonymous usage data collection.

Usage

Check the UpdateCheckService's constructor JSDoc for the list of available parameters. This is how the service is initialized in Ghost:

const api = require('./api').v2;
const GhostMailer = require('./services/mail').GhostMailer;
const config = require('../shared/config');
const urlUtils = require('./../shared/url-utils');

const i18n = require('../shared/i18n');
const logging = require('../shared/logging');
const request = require('./lib/request');
const ghostVersion = require('./lib/ghost-version');
const UpdateCheckService = require('@tryghost/update-check-service');

const updateChecker = new UpdateCheckService({
    api: {
        settings: {
            read: api.settings.read,
            edit: api.settings.edit
        },
        posts: {
            browse: api.posts.browse
        },
        users: {
            browse: api.users.browse
        },
        notifications: {
            add: api.notifications.add
        }
    },
    config: {
        mail: config.get('mail'),
        env: config.get('env'),
        databaseType: config.get('database').client,
        checkEndpoint: config.get('updateCheck:url'),
        isPrivacyDisabled: config.isPrivacyDisabled('useUpdateCheck'),
        notificationGroups: config.get('notificationGroups'),
        siteUrl: urlUtils.urlFor('home', true),
        forceUpdate: config.get('updateCheck:forceUpdate'),
        ghostVersion: ghostVersion.original
    },
    i18n,
    logging,
    request,
    sendEmail: ghostMailer.send
});

// run the update check with 

updateChecker.check();
