How to add current datetime as version number in angular build hash file on index.html

Question

I am facing caching issue with my Angular app. I have used several approach but issue is still there. For creating the build, I am using following command.

ng build --prod --output-hashing=all --aot

Can we add version number after hash file name like as below.

<script src='runtime.834594739.js?v=12345678'></script>

Please suggest, how to add version number with build file which auto adds in index.html file on runtime.

Thanks

The `834594739 ` is the hash generated by the CLI. Why do you want to add `12345678 `? — Hsuan Lee, Sep 25 '19 at 08:47

The correct param is --outputHashing, not --output-hashing. Just focus on -- (double hyphen)

Documentation.

Angular manages that on its own, just use it correctly.

Both will work. But after using this, my file is still being cached. After deploying the new version, we are able to see old file data. – Mukesh Kumar Sep 25 '19 at 08:53
Please share the output of your `build` command. If the cache busting is enabled, there is absolutely no reason for it to not work. – Sep 25 '19 at 09:01
