Payload entries

interface PayloadEntry { rel: string; dst: string; size: number; dir: boolean }

rel is a path inside the embedded payload; dst is the destination relative to the install directory.

Modes

minimal — a single app binary;
layout — a directory tree (kernel, assets, modules, main process, workers).

Example

const plan = await ow.invoke('installer', 'plan', { mode: 'layout' })
const result = await ow.invoke('installer', 'install', { dir: '/home/me/.local/opt/notes', mode: 'layout' })
await ow.invoke('installer', 'shortcuts', { execPath: '/home/me/.local/opt/notes/notes' })
await ow.invoke('installer', 'launch', { path: '/home/me/.local/opt/notes/notes' })

Registry

Installed apps are recorded in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/owear/installed/<appId>.json (Linux) or %APPDATA%\owear\installed\<appId>.json (Windows). The updater reads the same registry.
