gulp-cache-refresh

Forked combination of both gulp-cache-bust and cache-bust, removed old dependencies and added some additional functionality.

Static dependency versions to reduce breaks during dependency updates

"cheerio": "0.19.0",
"graceful-fs": "4.1.2",
"gulp-util": "3.0.7",
"map-stream": "0.0.6",
"temp-write": "1.1.0"

Usage

First, install gulp-cache-refresh as a development dependency:

npm install --save gulp-cache-refresh

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

var cachebust = require('gulp-cache-refresh');

gulp.src('./dist/*/*.html')
    .pipe(cachebust({
	type: 'timestamp'
    }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));

If you want to use a custom value, any value other than 'timestamp' will be appended.

var cachebust = require('gulp-cache-refresh');
var Foo = Environment.BuildNumber;

gulp.src('./dist/*/*.html')
    .pipe(cachebust({
	type: Foo
    }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'));
