A Hapi cache buster for assets (css, javascript, images, etc) in your view templates.
Have the client/browser reload new assets when there is a new version.
It grabs the package.json version number of your application and uses that as the cache version. In your view template you can now access version.cache
. You can place it where you are needing to update cache.
Lets say your package.json is version 0.0.1
, it will print out ?v=001
. To bust the cache you just update your package.json version to a new number.
Handlebars:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/styles.css{{version.cache}}">
Jade:
link(rel='stylesheet', href='css/styles.css#{version.cache}')
Instead of using the package.json version for the cache version, you can specify a number and pass it into the plugin options.
You can see this being used in the Hapi Ninja boilerplate example. https://github.com/poeticninja/hapi-ninja
