How can I use Webpack for cache busting in my project?

You can use Webpack's output filename configuration to include a hash in your filenames, which changes when the content changes.

Can you show me an example of how to set that up?

Sure! In your Webpack configuration, you can set the output filename like this: output: { filename: '[name].[contenthash].js' }. This will generate a unique filename based on the content.

What if I want to cache bust CSS files as well?

You can do the same for CSS files by using the MiniCssExtractPlugin. Set it up like this: filename: '[name].[contenthash].css'.

Are there any other strategies for cache busting?

Yes, you can also use query strings or versioning in your asset URLs, but using hashes in filenames is the most common and effective method.
