How to add a query parameter to generated Clientlibs URLs.

Hi guys,

I would like to know if there is a way to add a query parameter at the end of the generated URLs when loading the Clientlibs.

Consider the following scenario:

This is the code I have to load the Clientlibs.

The previous piece of code generates the following script tag.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/my/clientlib.js"></script>

We currently use Amazon CF to deliver these scripts so I would like to add a query parameter at the end of the URL as a cache busting technique so that the final URL would be like:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/my/clientlib.js?v=1.3.4"></script>

The value of the query parameter is the version of the project so the cache gets busted for every single release.

Is there a way to add a query parameter at the end of the generated URL?

I was reading the documentation of the clientlibs but couldn't find anything, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I tried this option and it worked! I had to adjust your code a little bit but I could add the query param at the end of the URL.

Thank you all for your responses, I really appreciate it.

As mentioned by Gaurav, it is better to version clientlibs instead of adding parameter at the end. If you still want version try checking Links Rewriter where you can replace the path in the html attribute and try adding the version which you can put in configuration file.

I did not try your scenario but hoping using LinksRewriter might help your scenario
