What are some effective caching strategies in Webpack?

Effective caching strategies in Webpack include using content hashing, setting cache control headers, and leveraging service workers.

Can you explain how content hashing works?

Content hashing generates a unique hash for each file based on its content, ensuring that changes to the file result in a new filename.

How do I implement cache control headers in my Webpack configuration?

You can implement cache control headers by using the output section in your Webpack config to set the publicPath and using plugins like webpack-manifest-plugin.

What role do service workers play in caching?

Service workers act as a proxy between your web app and the network, allowing you to cache assets and serve them offline.
