Web Server Configuration

Some web server configuration is required in order for requests to yoursite.com/static/version12345/some/asset.js to resolve correctly. The intention is for the web server to ignore the segment /version12345/ and process the request as if it were not there.

Add the following to the appropriate location in your web server configuration.

Nginx

location ~ ^/static/version {
    rewrite ^/static/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /static/$2 last;
}

location ~ ^/media/version {
    rewrite ^/media/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /media/$2 last;
}

Apache

RewriteRule ^/static/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /static/$2 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^/media/(version\d*/)?(.*)$ /media/$2 [QSA,L]

Usage

Once installed and configured, there are various ways to bust your Magento 2 website asset cache.

Admin Panel Buttons

In the Magento Admin Panel go to System > Cache Management and you will see a new section at the bottom called 'Cache Busting'. Clicking these buttons will update the dynamic element of the /version12345/ and then flush the appropriate Magento caches, so on their next visit your customers will download the assets afresh.

Command Line Interface (CLI)

In the Magento CLI tool you will see some new commands available, which can be used to bust cache during a deployment for example.

./bin/magento absolute:cache-bust:all
./bin/magento absolute:cache-bust:static
./bin/magento absolute:cache-bust:media
