grunt-swn-cachebuster

Appends timestamp param to import urls

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt >=0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-swn-cachebuster --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-swn-cachebuster');

The "cachebuster" task

Overview

This task looks into source files, and edits all html and js file urls to append a timestamp query string parameter. It ignores urls that start with /bower_components.

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named cachebuster to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  cachebuster: {
    your_target: {
      // Target-specific file lists and/or options go here.
    },
  },
});

Usage Examples

grunt.initConfig({
  cachebuster: {
    all: {
      expand: true,
      cwd: 'assets/',
      src: ['*.html', 'elements/**/*.html', '!build/', 'elements/swn-app/swn-app.js'],
      dest: 'assets/build/'
    },
  },
});
