[Rails] rails asset cache

2010-07-23 Thread Tom Mac
I have a of line code like
%= stylesheet_link_tag styles,:cache = cache/styles %

And it produces source as

link href=/stylesheets/styles.css?1279620123 media=screen
rel=stylesheet type=text/css /

config.action_controller.perform_caching = true

My concern is what is 1279620123 after question mark(?) above. If such a
random number always appended,  whether caching in browser happens or
not?Please give me a good idea

Thanks
Tom

It's the timestamp when the file was last changed (or the last file if you
list multiple stylesheets in stylesheet_link_tag).

That way browsers can cache it long term and it will automatically change if
you change one of the files during a new deployment.

Cheers,


Andy
