If this is still a thing in 2017 and beyond, please contact me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MetalMatze). I might transfer this project to you!** This package extends Laravel's `HtmlBuilder` with simple cache busting, either by enabling it via a configuration and using the built-in `HTML::script` and `HTML::style`, or more explicitly by replacing calls to `HTML::script` and `HTML::style` in templates with `HTML::scriptBust` and `HTML::styleBust`. Both methods bust browser cache by placing an md5 checksum into the filename of your asset. For a cache buster providing more functionality, have a look at [Laravel Cachebuster](https://github.com/TheMonkeys/laravel-cachebuster).

To change this, publish the package configuration using Artisan. ``` php artisan config:publish metalmatze/laravel-html-cachebusting ``` This copies the file `config.php` into `/packages/metalmatze/laravel-html-cachebusting`. Setting `enabled` to `true` enables cache busting for all calls to both `HTML::script` and `HTML::style`. Aside from that the configuration requires a white-list of extensions that should be busted, which by default is set to .js and .css files. And the `format` setting makes it possible to format the cache buster string *a little bit*; it is essentially an `sprintf` formatter, which expects exactly one `%s`. ### Explicit cache busting [](#explicit-cache-busting) **Note**: explicit cache busting overrides the `enabled` setting of the configuration file. Busting cache for css files: ``` {{ HTML::styleBust('main.css') }} ``` `` Busting cache for javascript files: ``` {{ HTML::scriptBust('main.js') }} ``` `` Installation ------------ [](#installation) Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `metalmatze\laravel-html-cachebusting`. ``` "require": { "laravel/framework": "4.0.*", "metalmatze/laravel-html-cachebusting": "dev-master" }, "minimum-stability" : "dev" ``` Next, update Composer from the Terminal: ``` composer update ``` Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and **append** a new item to the providers array. ``` 'MetalMatze\Html\HtmlServiceProvider' ``` **DO NOT replace it with laravel's default `Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider` since there would be no Form.** ### Adding the redirect to your `.htaccess` [](#adding-the-redirect-to-your-htaccess) ``` RewriteRule ^(css|js)/(.+)\.([0-9a-f]{32})\.(js|css|png|jpg|gif)$ /(css|js)/$1.$3 [L] ``` ### Adding the redirect to nginx [](#adding-the-redirect-to-nginx) ``` rewrite "^(.+)\.([0-9a-f]{32})\.(js|css|png|jpg|gif)$" /$1.$3; ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) This package adheres to PSR-2 standards, so before committing make sure your code is PSR-2 error free. To test compliance run ``` php vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=PSR2 src/ tests/```. ``` ### Health Score 29 — LowBetter than 60% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community10 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity54 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 57.7% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
