checksumFile

Create a checksum of any file in MODX and return a path with the checksum for cachebusting.

Requirements

• MODX Revolution 2.5.0+
• PHP 7.0+

Installation

• Download & install from package manager or directly on modx.com
• Update your template to use the snippet when referencing files like this:

<link href="[[checksumFile? &file=`/assets/template/dist/styles.css`]]" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="[[checksumFile? &file=`/assets/template/dist/scripts.js`]]"></script>

• Update your .htaccess with a redirect rule, to make requests with a checksum work. This one works for SVG, JS, CSS – if you need other file endings you need to add those to the RewriteRule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.([a-z0-9]{8})?\.(svg|js|css)$ $1.$3
