CDNUpdates
A Sublime Text 3 plugin to check for CDN updates in your Web pages
Bored of manually check if your CDN (Content Delivery Network) are up to date ? Yeah, so was I... π
This is what this Sublime Text 3 plugin does (well) :
- Gathers links present in your current sheet
- Compares them to a list containing known CDN providers
- Figures out a way (with providers' API or with GitHub one) to retrieve the latest "version" of each resource, and compares it with the one you are currently using
- Displays a basic (ugly ?) icon in the gutter, to inform you of the result
- Displays a Phantom object with the latest version available
Of course, when this plugin does not use the API of the CDN provider, it may informs you of a newer published version, possibly not available from your provider (it would be time to opt out of this privacy mess, by the way...).
Installation

Settings
Most of the CDN providers don't provide any API for their service, so it would be very tricky to retrieve latest version available directly from them.
Unless for https://cdnjs.com/, this plugin is actually based on the GitHub API to fetch from repositories the latest existing Git tag. Its name is compared afterwards with the CDN version present in your sources.
If you have many many CDNs in your sheets (or if you want to contribute to this project π), you'll surely need to set a GitHub API token to avoid reaching the rate limit. You can generate one here, and paste in under the plugin preferences (accessible from CDNUpdates's Sublime menu).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get rid of your horrible icons in the gutter ?
It'll be done automatically next time you'll save your sheet π
I've updated my links, but the Phantom objects don't want to leave...
Same as above π
Can I add another or my own CDN ?
Of course you can, unless this project wouldn't be Open Source !
You basically just have to tweak CDNContent.py and imitate what is done there for your provider.
