Cache Breaking for Flow resources
=================================

[](#cache-breaking-for-flow-resources)

This package provides a ViewHelper that adds a cache breaking string to resource URIs. The cache breaking string can be updated with a CLI command.

Recommended usage
-----------------

[](#recommended-usage)

Replace the default Flow resource.uri ViewHelper with the ViewHelper provided by this package for all resources that should get cache breaking capability:

```

```

You can set far future expires headers for these resources, as the the ViewHelper will add a cache breaking GET parameter to the resource URI.

The GET parameter is only updated when you explicitly flush the Mindscreen\_Flow\_CacheBreak cache. `./flow flow:cache:flush` will not clear this cache, as it is persistent.

As an alternative to cache flushing, you can use the command `./flow cachebreak:update` (which does the same thing basically).

You should execute the `cachebreak:update` command (or the cache flushing) during every deployment (for example as part of your Surf Deployment).
