cache-bust

A StealJS and SystemJS cache busting extension.

Install

You can install through NPM:

npm install steal-cache-bust --save

You'll then want to copy node_modules/steal-cache-bust/cache-bust.js to a location within your project folder. In the future this extension will be included in Steal by default.

Usage

With StealJS simply include cache-bust as a configDependency. Assuming you placed it in your root folder:

{
  "system": {
    "configDependencies": [
      "cache-bust"
    ]
  }
}
 

Configuration

You can configure cache busting by setting properties on the script tag. You'll probably at least want to set cacheVersion.

cacheVersion

This is the version string that will be appending as a query parameter. For example if you do:

<script src="node_modules/steal/steal.js" cache-version="14"></script>

Then requests will be for:

http://example.com/foo/bar.js?version=14

cacheKey

By default "version" is used as the query param for busting caches but you can use a different string by setting cacheKey.
