Laravel Backpack not reflecting changes made to JS file on page refresh

Question

Code based changes made to the javascript file that I am calling in setupCreateOperation() is not reflecting the changes made on page refresh.

    protected function setupCreateOperation(){
       Widget::add()->type('script')->content(asset('asset/user.js'));
       CRUD::setCreateView('users/create');
    }

Attempted Solution

To add "versioning" to the JS file

Widget::add()->type('script')->src(asset('asset/user.js?v=' . time()));

However this results in the javascript file no longer being called and with there also being no errors when inspecting the browser.

Answer 1

Laravel backpack already handles the "versioning" of the js files as can be seen by the random characters added after user.js.

The changes were not reflected because the browser was still referring to the cached js file. Need to do hard refresh of browser rather than regular refresh
