Laravel Elixir 233
Versioning / Cache Busting
Many developers suffix their compiled assets with a timestamp or unique token to force browsers to
load the fresh assets instead of serving stale copies of the code. Elixir can handle this for you using
the version method.
The version method accepts a file name relative to the public directory, and will append a unique
hash to the filename, allowing for cache-busting. For example, the generated file name will look
something like: all-16d570a7.css:
1 elixir(function(mix) {
2 A> mix.version('css/all.css');
3
4 });
After generating the versioned file, you may use Laravel’s global elixir PHP helper function within
your views to load the appropriately hashed asset. The elixir function will automatically determine
the name of the hashed file:

Versioning Multiple Files
You may pass an array to the version method to version multiple files:
1 elixir(function(mix) {
2 A> mix.version(['css/all.css', 'js/app.js']);
3
4 });
Once the files have been versioned, you may use the elixir helper function to generate links to the
proper hashed files. Remember, you only need to pass the name of the un-hashed file to the elixir
helper function. The helper will use the un-hashed name to determine the current hashed version
of the file:
