I'm sending a file in node.js / express like this:
res.header("Content-Type", mime.lookup(file));
res.sendFile(file);
On sever side I can detect if that file has changed and I want to force client to skip cache only in that case.
something like:
res.header("Content-Type", mime.lookup(file));
if (fileHasChanged(file))
res.header("some-header-telling-client-to-skip-cache", "some-value");
res.sendFile(file);
How can I do that?
Looks like, you need to add 'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'
to you the sendFile() options:
const options = {
headers: {
'Cache-Control': 'no-cache',
}
};
res.sendFile(file, options, (err) => {
if (err) {
next(err);
} else {
// Success
}
});
