Caching issue about map-gallery-template-js HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @geospatialem!

You can probably put some sort of random datetime string in the request to break the cache when you want to.

Like this:

<link href="css/common.css?version=1.0" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

You can also use dojo's cacheBust to make all module loads not be cached.

https://dojotoolkit.org/documentation/tutorials/1.10/dojo_config/

or put the param in the module require

"application/common?version=1.0",

@driskull Thank you for the references to common.js in the javascript/home.js and javascript/map.js files!

We were doing a search for "common.js" and were coming up empty (since searching "common" was giving us way more than we bargained for).

And thanks for the dojo reference and documentation to cacheBust, that is super handy!!

Do you think it be worthwhile to add in some context to the README.md for others trying to see how the common.js file is dynamically added in, or do you think that's overkill? I can put together a PR if you and your colleagues see an added benefit.

Thanks for getting back to us so quickly!!
