How does `app.config.static_version_urls` take effect in static url version

How does app.config.static_version_urls take effect in static url version. I didn't find any docs of this config, so I searched the code and found only the below function

def static_versioning(cls):
    return (cls.application.config.static_version_urls and
              cls.application.config.static_version) or ''

I still couldn't get what this means to my final static url, any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi @laozhu, the static versioning of weppy just add the version to the URLs generated using the url() method. You just need to add the appropriate variables to your application configuration:

app.config.static_version_urls = True
app.config.static_version = "1.0.0"

Then if you build static urls using url('static', 'yourfile.js') the final url will be something like: /static/1.0.0/myfile.js

You would need to change your version number whenever you want to update the urls and invalidate the browsers' cache.

If you need something more advanced for assets versioning, you'd better go with the assets pipeline extension :)

Let me know if you need more info.
