hashmark
A CLI tool and Node.js library that renames files by appending a hash digest to their filenames for cache busting.
What is hashmark?
HashMark is a Node.js-based utility that renames files by appending a hash of their contents to the filename. It solves the problem of cache busting for static assets by generating unique filenames whenever file contents change, allowing aggressive caching without stale content.
Frontend developers and build engineers who need to automate cache invalidation for JavaScript, CSS, and other static assets in their deployment pipelines.
It offers a simple, scriptable solution with glob support and flexible output templates, making it easy to integrate into existing build processes without complex configuration.
Overview
Take contents of a file (or stdin), and output as new file with a hash in the name
