Sammy.js How to disable caching template html?

Question

Sammy.js seems to be caching html templates used to load pages using context render

context.render(context.view('pages/new'), data)

Which is good in production setup. But during development it is pain to clear browser cache every time new.html is changed on the server.

Is there a way to disable all caching on Sammy.js ?

Answer 1

When you load a template into the context you can provide the option {cache: false} as the second parameter to load method.

Answer 2

i was having an annoying trouble with mustache templates caching. It seems this issue is not because of sammy templating system but because of chrome caching

so go to settings/general tab (you have to show developer tools and click on cogwheel in the bottom right corner) and click on disable cache.

please check this post i found for further help http://harrywolff.com/fix-mustache-templates-from-being-cached/

hope this works for you, it helped me a lot.

You can override the Sammy.templateCache method.
