grunt-smartrev vs grunt-filerev

[honglio]

grunt-filerev seems to do the same as grunt-smartrev once you add in grunt-filerev-replace. smartrev by default will version and update both files as well as dependencies. e.g. if a jpg changes then not only will it get a new hash, but the link will be updated in any associated CSS and therefore that CSS gets an update too.

A further challenge is then how to reference these assets from dynamic pages (e.g. Express). For this, we have custom code to read the smartrev output. I see there is yet another complimentary filerev plugin here: https://github.com/richardbolt/grunt-filerev-assets. grunt-usemin seems similar but designed more for static HTML pages rather than dynamically generated ones.

All that mentioned above is over-killed, Let's use grunt-rev. It's pretty smart, and the contributor is reliable one.
