How to clear cache by command in ionic web app?

Question

When I upload the latest version of my web application to the server, the user must do the following to see the latest version:

If the program is running in the browser it should hit the shift + f5 buttons.
If the program is running in the mobile browser, it should clear the cache as follows:

Settings / Privacy / Clear browsing data / Clear data

Now how can we do this automatically with programming so that the user doesn't have to?

You can add it in your `index.html` // i haven't tested it but i assume it will work. — Najam Us Saqib, Feb 09 '20 at 09:14

I've added version (ex: ?ver=1.0) to the end of scripts in the index.html file:

<!-- Ionic's root component and where the app will load -->
  <ion-app></ion-app>

  <!-- The polyfills js is generated during the build process -->
  <script src="build/polyfills.js?ver=2.2"></script>

  <!-- The vendor js is generated during the build process
       It contains all of the dependencies in node_modules -->
  <script src="build/vendor.js?ver=2.2"></script>

  <!-- The main bundle js is generated during the build process -->
  <script src="build/main.js?ver=2.2"></script>

And then increase the version number each time you upload it
