Cache breaking functionality for static resources in Flow

, _(*1)

Cache Breaking for Flow resources

This package provides a ViewHelper that adds a cache breaking string to resource URIs. The cache breaking string can be updated with a CLI command., _(*2)

Recommended usage

Replace the default Flow resource.uri ViewHelper with the ViewHelper provided by this package for all resources that should get cache breaking capability:, _(*3)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{cb:uri.resource(path: 'Build/Styles/Style.css', package: 'My.Package')}" />

You can set far future expires headers for these resources, as the the ViewHelper will add a cache breaking GET parameter to the resource URI., _(*4)

The GET parameter is only updated when you explicitly flush the Mindscreen_Flow_CacheBreak cache. ./flow flow:cache:flush will not clear this cache, as it is persistent., _(*5)

As an alternative to cache flushing, you can use the command ./flow cachebreak:update (which does the same thing basically)., _(*6)

You should execute the cachebreak:update command (or the cache flushing) during every deployment (for example as part of your Surf Deployment)., _(*7)
