Plugin based on gulp-rev-append for prevent cache in wordpress theme's
gulpfile.js
var rev = require('gulp-rev-append-any');
gulp.task('rev', function() {
gulp.src('./index.html')
.pipe(rev())
.pipe(gulp.dest('.'));
});
terminal
$ gulp rev
The plugins allows for appending a query-string file hash to dependencies declared in html files defined using the following regex: (?:href=|src=|url\()['|"](.*)\?rev=([^\s>"']+?)['|"]
That's fancy talk for any stylesheet or script declarations that are declared in an html file such as the following:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/style/style-one.css?rev=@@hash">
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/script/script-one.js?rev=@@hash"></script>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/script/script-two.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div><p>hello, world!</p></div>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/script/script-three.js?rev=@@hash"></script>
</body>
</html>
will turn into something similar as the following after running gulp-rev-append-any:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/style/style-one.css?rev=efeb4be9cf">
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/script/script-one.js?rev=57d7130d96"></script>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/script/script-two.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div><p>hello, world!</p></div>
<script src="<?php bloginfo('template_url');?>/script/script-three.js?rev=Pc3df4sfFb"></script>
</body>
</html>
The only requirement is that the dependency to be appended with the hash be declared using ?rev=. The @@hash is not required, and any value will be overriden as the dependency file contents change.
