Cache busting
Cache bust urls by including a hash in filenames.
Note: Currently, this library cache busts a single css <link>
found in an HTML file. This is sufficient for my current needs. If for
any reason it is of interest to others, please create an
issue, I will
be glad to make it more useful.
Install
npm i cache-bust-filename
Example
/my-project/foo.html
<html>
<head>
<link media="screen" href="foo.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
</html>
/my-project/foo.css
p{color:red;}
const {replaceInHtml} = require('cache-bust-filename');
replaceInHtml("/my-project", "foo.css")
/my-project/foo.html
(file updated:heavy_exclamation_mark:)
<html>
<head>
<link media="screen" href="foo-99440565f57b1f0c23afb0e0e71ffa35.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
</html>
/my-project/foo-99440565f57b1f0c23afb0e0e71ffa35.css
(file renamed:heavy_exclamation_mark:)
p{color:red;}
Use with Eleventy
.eleventy.js
const {replaceInHtml} = require('cache-bust-filename');
module.exports = function(eleventyConfig) {
eleventyConfig.on('afterBuild', function() {
replaceInHtml("/my-project", "foo.css")
});
};
Note
I am not well-versed with Eleventy. Hence it's more likely to find better ways to do cache-busting with eleventy.
Here is one such way which happens to be a nice read:
