Bootstrapped with create-react-app (v1.0.13). Whenever I update the source & redeploy users need to hard refresh to get the new content. I've included non-cache header in index.html:
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-store" />
& turned off provided service workers. Also change the .js filename (and reference in index.html) in build folder before deploying.
I was able to remove caching by doing the following:
- adding the following to in index.html
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="0" />
- inserting the following to the js
import { unregister } from './registerServiceWorker';
unregister()
- changing cloudflare caching expiration to 'respect existing headers' at https://www.cloudflare.com/a/caching/
It is unclear which of these (or all of these) are actually required but it's a start.
For anyone coming in the future -- all you need is the
{unregister} from ./registerServiceWorker
unregister();
This helped my create-react-app work with hosts like gh-pages and netlify.
