Absolute Cache Bust
===================

[](#absolute-cache-bust)

With Absolute Cache Bust for Magento 2 you can ensure your customers are viewing the latest version of your images, CSS and JavaScript files. This extension can be used with or without a CDN, and will also bust local versions of assets in your customers web browser cache. Find more information at .

Version Compatibility
=====================

[](#version-compatibility)

- For Magento 2.2.x and later please use version 3.x.x of this extension.
- For earlier Magento versions, please use version 2.x.x of this extension.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

The best way to add the extension is via composer.

```
composer require absolute/magento2-cache-bust

```

Once the extension has been added, update Magento 2 in the normal fashion.

```
php bin/magento setup:upgrade

```

Web Server Configuration
========================

[](#web-server-configuration)

Some web server configuration is required in order for requests to `yoursite.com/static/version12345/some/asset.js` to resolve correctly. The intention is for the web server to ignore the segment `/version12345/` and process the request as if it were not there.

Add the following to the appropriate location in your web server configuration.

Nginx
-----

[](#nginx)

For the static cache busting, Magento already has the following in the recommended nginx configuration:

```
location /static/ {
    ...

    location ~ ^/static/version {
        rewrite ^/static/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /static/$2 last;
    }

    ...

```

For the media cache busting, add the following to your nginx configuration:

```
location /media/ {
   ...

   location ~ ^/media/version {
       rewrite ^/media/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /media/$2 last;
   }

   ...
}

```

Apache
------

[](#apache)

For the static cache busting, Magento already has the following configuration in `pub/static/.htaccess`:

```

    RewriteEngine On

    # Remove signature of the static files that is used to overcome the browser cache
    RewriteRule ^version.+?/(.+)$ $1 [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l

    RewriteRule .* ../static.php?resource=$0 [L]

```

For the media cache busting, update `pub/media/.htaccess` with the following:

```

############################################
## enable rewrites

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on

############################################
## Absolute Cache Bust
    RewriteRule ^version.+?/(.+)$ $1 [L]

############################################
## never rewrite for existing files
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

############################################
## rewrite everything else to index.php

    RewriteRule .* ../get.php [L]

```

CORS
====

[](#cors)

Since Magento 2.2.x you will also need to configure your web server to allow CORS requests through, otherwise you may see errors like:

- ... OPTIONS ... 405 ()
- Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input
- Response for preflight has invalid HTTP status code 405
- Request header field x-requested-with is not allowed
- No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present
- Access has been blocked by CORS policy

You can find out more about the required configuration here:

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

Once installed and configured, there are various ways to bust your Magento 2 websites cached assets.

Admin Panel Buttons
-------------------

[](#admin-panel-buttons)

In the Magento Admin Panel go to `System > Cache Management` and you will see a new section at the bottom called `Cache Busting`. Clicking these buttons will update the dynamic element `/version12345/` with a new value and then flush the appropriate Magento caches, so on their next visit your customers will download the assets afresh.

Command Line Interface (CLI)
----------------------------

[](#command-line-interface-cli)

In the Magento CLI tool you will see some new commands available, which can be used to automatically bust your cache during a deployment for example.

```
./bin/magento absolute:cache-bust:all
./bin/magento absolute:cache-bust:static
./bin/magento absolute:cache-bust:media

```
