Bump
====

[](#bump)

**Supports Craft 4.4+ and Craft 5.x**

What does it do?
----------------

[](#what-does-it-do)

It writes a timestamp to a file when your chosen events fire.

What is it useful for?
----------------------

[](#what-is-it-useful-for)

Good question!

### Original Use Case: Vite Browser Reloading

[](#original-use-case-vite-browser-reloading)

If you are a Vite user, you can use [vite-plugin-restart](https://github.com/antfu/vite-plugin-restart) and configure it to watch the bump file.

Set the Entry Saved event to trigger a bump, and add the bump file to your Vite config:

```
ViteRestart({
    reload: [
        // your other watched files...
        // path to bump file
        'storage/runtime/bump.txt',
    ],
}),

```

Now when you save an entry in Craft, your Vite dev server will trigger a hot reload!

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### From the Plugin Store

[](#from-the-plugin-store)

Configuration

[](#configuration)

Go to **Settings → Plugins → Bump** in the Craft control panel.

### File Path

[](#file-path)

Path where the timestamp file will be written. Supports Craft aliases:

- `@storage/runtime/bump.txt` (default) — within the runtime directory
- `@storage/bump.txt` — within the storage directory
- `@root/bump.txt` — project root

### Allowed Environments

### Timestamp Format

[](#timestamp-format)

Choose a PHP [`date()`](https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php) format from the available options:

- `U` (default) — Unix epoch (e.g., `1770422400`)
- `c` — ISO 8601 (e.g., `2026-02-07T12:30:00+00:00`)
- `Y-m-d H:i:s` — Datetime (e.g., `2026-02-07 12:30:00`)
- `Y-m-d` — Date only (e.g., `2026-02-07`)
- `Ymd.His` — Compact (e.g., `20260207.123000`)
