laravel-mix-make-file-hash

Laravel Mix make file hash

Mix has querystring hashing by default which doesn't work too well with some caching systems.

Querystring hashing looks like this:

(OLD) main.css?id=abcd1234

After mix has done it's thing, this script converts that querystring hashing to filename hashing:

(NEW) main.abcd1234.css

Usage

This is not a Laravel mix plugin so use with mix.then() like this:

if (mix.inProduction()) {

    // Allow versioning in production
    mix.version()

    // Run after mix finishes
    mix.then(() => {
            const laravelMixMakeFileHash = require("laravel-mix-make-file-hash")
            laravelMixMakeFileHash('web', 'web/mix-manifest.json')
    })
}

Options

laravelMixMakeFileHash(
    publicPath,
    manifestFilePath
)

Under the hood

It'll first look at your manifest, then create a new file with the updated hash and then remove the old file.
