grunt-assets-revving

Overview

Searches requested files for linked CSS and JS assets, appending a timestamp query string to each asset's URL. Attempts to ignore external resources.

Installation

Install this grunt plugin next to your project's gruntfile with:

npm install grunt-assets-revving

Then add this line somewhere in your grunt.js:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-assets-revving');

Inside your grunt.js file add a section named rev.

files string|array

Array of your static files (or string for single file).

Config Example

rev: {
  assets: {
    files: [
      'index.html',
      'subdir/index.html'
    ],
  }
}

Usage

Running grunt rev will scan index.html and subdir/index.html line-by-line looking for linked .css and .js files. If any are found, a Unix timestamp is appended to their URL and the file is written to disk, overwriting the source file. Make sure to save changes to files before running!
