rvvr v1.0.0

rvvr 🎰

Inject a content hash to imported subresource paths of HTML, SVG, JS, or CSS files. Allows long-term, immutable HTTP caching.

$ rvvr --input './src/**.{js,html,css,svg}' --output ./dist

Examples

Supported Syntax

HTML & SVG

All href and src attributes.

<link rel='stylesheet' href='./design.css'>
<script src='./code.js'></script>
<img src='./image.jpg'>

CSS

All url() values.

@import './module.css';
@font-face { src: url('./font.woff'); }
h1 { background: url('./pattern.svg'); }

JavaScript

All import or named export statements.

import './module.js'
export * from './package.js'

CLI

--input ./path/to/files

• Alias: -i
• Required: Yes
• Multiple: Yes

Path to a file, or wildcard (glob pattern) to multiple files.

--output ./path/to/directory

• Alias: -o
• Required: Yes

Path to a directory to write all files. Directory structure is preserved.

--force, --no-force

• Alias: -f
• Default: false

Overwrite existing files.

--position

• Alias: -p
• Values: query, name
• Default: query

Either modify the file name of each subresource, or append a query string containing the content hash.

Both methods are widely used for many years and compatible with all browsers, servers, and proxies.

The query approach does not rename files, which may be convenient by retaining consistent file names across versions.

The name approach allows for simultaneous hosting of multiple versions. Each version of the same source file will have its own unique filename.

--encoding

• Alias: -e
• Values: hex, emoji
• Default: hex

Character encoding to use for the hash. Hexadecimal (0-9, a-f) or base-emoji-512.

--length

• Alias: -l
• Default: 4 (hex) or 1 (emoji)

Number of characters to use in the hash.

API

const rvvr = require('rvvr')

for await (const resource of rvvr(input, options)) {
  // resource:
  // { from, to, hash, data }
}

rvvr(input, options)

Returns an async generator that emits processed resources.

input

Type: String or Array

One or more file paths to process. Globs are supported.
