gulp-cache-bust

library1.4.1jsnpmunverified

Gulp plugin for cache busting static assets by appending a query string (MD5 hash or timestamp) to asset URLs in HTML files. Current stable version is 1.4.1, released in 2016, and the package is not actively maintained. It supports 'timestamp' and 'MD5' types. Compared to similar plugins like gulp-rev, gulp-cache-bust is simpler but less flexible, lacking features like manifest generation or file renaming. The package is deprecated in favor of more modern approaches.
