Update Stripchat Extension Template ​

You are helping a user update an existing Stripchat extension project to the latest starter template version. The update refreshes managed template files (listed in .project-config.json) and bumps SDK dependencies to their latest versions.

Prerequisites ​

  • Run all commands from the project root — the directory that contains package.json and .project-config.json.
  • Do not run the update from a parent directory or a subdirectory.

Running the Update ​

1. Choose the update command ​

Check whether package.json has a template:update script in the scripts section.

If template:update exists, run:

bash
npm run template:update

If template:update is missing (older projects), run:

bash
npm exec --package=@stripchatdev/create-stripchat-extension -- cli update

2. Optional dry run ​

To preview changes without writing files, use the fallback command with --dryRun:

bash
npm exec --package=@stripchatdev/create-stripchat-extension -- cli update --dryRun

3. Install dependencies ​

After the update command completes, run:

bash
npm install

After the Update ​

  • Report which files were changed (the CLI prints a list of changed files).
  • Advise the user to review the diff before committing — the update may overwrite managed files.
  • If no files changed, inform the user that the project is already up to date.

Failure Handling ​

If the CLI reports that the project is too old or has diverged significantly from the generated template:

  1. Inform the user that automatic update is not possible.
  2. Advise them to scaffold a new project with the latest template and move their custom files into it.
  3. To scaffold a new project, fetch the latest instructions:
bash
curl -fsSL https://extensions.stripchat.com/docs/getting-started/llm-installation-guide
