I try to get started with MVC SPA apps, and I noticed in BundleConfig the following:
ScriptBundle("~/scripts/jquery-{version}.js")
How this works? What is {version} and where it it taken from?
And where can find more information this, how BundleConfig works and how to customize it?
Thanks
See the answers to this question.
Also, check out this link. The Bundling and Optimization section discusses the use of the {version} tag.
It allows you to indicate a version number format (semver) that many libraries use. For example, you reference jquery-1.9.1 and then it goes to jquery-1.9.2. Using {version} you don't have to change your code, you just need to re build the bundle.
Although the above answers are sufficient enough, just wanted to show the technical detail mentioned in the answer link by Matt:
The -{version} basically maps to a version regex, or to be precise: (\d+(?:.\d+){1,3}).
HTH.
