i18n file changes are not taken into account (spa hmr)

Quick fix : clear every browser cache. But this should not happen in dev.

@theomathieubhvr I suppose you're using HMR on spa build and I have exactly the same issue right here.

I digged it a little and found out that's more or less connected with copy-assets-webpack-plugin and webpack-dev-server.

It's a known issue with the HMR; files copied through copy-assets-webpack-plugin are not taken into account.

Rebuilding the project using npm run build:spa-dev and then running npm run serve:spa would definitely solve this problem.

On the other hand, if you're using ngx-cache then the app seeks the cache (by default, should be local-storage) for i18n data. And yeah, clearing the cache (or just local-storage) would solve it.

Please feel free to to add anything if there're any points that I missed.

That's exactly it !

But in production, if I update my i18n keys, how can I force my users to reload their localstorage ?

Thanks !

You can set TTL (in terms of secs, ex: 300) right at the imports section of you app.module. I suppose there's no usage example on ngx-cache/core repository about TTL but see the cache.loader.ts to what params to pass. Also, don't forget to set the expiry param to undefined - otherwise it will override the TTL.
