# WinSparkle Go Bindings

[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/github.com/abemedia/go-winsparkle.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/abemedia/go-winsparkle)

This package provides go bindings for [WinSparkle](https://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle) created by

Vaclav Slavik.

WinSparkle is a plug-and-forget software update library for Windows applications. It is heavily

inspired by the Sparkle framework for OS X written by Andy Matuschak and others, to the point of

sharing the same updates format (appcasts) and having very similar user interface.

See  for more information about WinSparkle.

## Documentation

See the [WinSparkle wiki](https://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle/wiki) and the

[GoDoc](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/abemedia/go-winsparkle?tab=doc).

## Important

WinSparkle.dll must be placed into the same directory as your app executable. Depending on your

architecture use the version from [dll/x64](./dll/x64/), [dll/x86](./dll/x86/) or

[dll/arm64](./dll/arm64/).

Alternatively you can embed the DLL into your application by importing

`github.com/abemedia/go-winsparkle/dll`.

## Example

```go

package main

import (

	"github.com/abemedia/go-winsparkle"

	_ "github.com/abemedia/go-winsparkle/dll" // Embed DLL.

)

func main() {

	sparkle.SetAppcastURL("https://dl.example.com/appcast.xml")

	sparkle.SetAppDetails("example.com", "My Cool App", "1.0.0")

	sparkle.SetAutomaticCheckForUpdates(true)

	if err := sparkle.SetDSAPubPEM(dsaPublicKey); err != nil {

		panic(err)

	}

	// Start your app before initiating WinSparkle.

	runMyApp()

	winsparkle.Init()

	defer winsparkle.Cleanup()

}

```
