Cache-breaker is a utility for breaking browser caches by appending timestamps or unique strings to CSS/JS references in HTML strings. Current version 0.0.4 is in early development; the module does not interact with the file system, so users must handle file I/O themselves. It offers three modes: query string, filename insertion, and overwrite. Release cadence is unknown. Differentiators include lightweight, no-frills cache busting without a build system.

Demonstrates basic usage: breaking cache by appending a timestamp query string to specified CSS files in an HTML string.

const cacheBreaker = require('cache-breaker'); const html = '<link href="/style.css" /><link href="/style2.css" />'; const files = ['style.css', 'style2.css']; const result = cacheBreaker.breakCache(html, files); console.log(result); // Output: <link href="/style.css?rel=23452341" /><link href="/style2.css?rel=23452341" />
