bump-manifest

Bump an appcache manifest's timestamp.

When using appcache manifests you have to modify it when your resources changed, otherwise supporting browsers will keep your cached contents forever!

This module inserts the current timestamp after the obligatory header in order to cause a resource reload.

Example

1var bump = require('bump-manifest');
2var fs = require('fs');
3
4var manifest = fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/man.appcache');
5fs.writeFileSync(__dirname + '/man.appcache', bump(manifest));

If your old manifest was like this:

CACHE MANIFEST
bundle.js

it now looks like that:

CACHE MANIFEST
# 1381439992058
bundle.js

And if it already had the timestamp, it has a new one now.

Installation

With npm do:

1npm install bump-manifest
