prevent Mustache from loading template from cache

Question

I'm using Backbone.js with mustache.js, and I'm loading my templates using ajax. my problem is that the templates are being loaded from cache(refreshing using ctrl+F5 if that matters!). Now I have made changes to the template but it's still loading the old version of it. It's working perfectly fine in incognito. Is there a way to prevent this? Maybe prevent Mustache from caching the template?

The code that renders the template is:

$.get(this.templatesPath + this.template, function(resTemplate){
        var html = Mustache.render(resTemplate, that.personData);
        that.$el.html(html);
    });

My first thought was to use some other function instead of "Mustache.render()" like maybe "Mustache.to_html()". But looking at the Source Code reveals that to_html() merely calls render().

Any thoughts?

Apologies for digging up this very old question, but I was searching for the answer to a similar question and didn't end up finding it anywhere. This question is one of the first that shows up when searching "mustache disable caching".

I am using Mustache and Express with the mustache-express module. I was able to disable caching with the following:

const Mustache = require('mustache-express')();
delete Mustache.cache;

I hope this helps someone else in the future.
