Updated css file not reflecting in laravel

Question

I'm working on Laravel framework,

I have changed my bootstrap.min.css from v3 to v4 but it's not updated in the browser

I have tried:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
rm -rf bootstrap/cache/*/*

and I deleted the files from storage/framework/views but still, the CSS is not updating.

Can anyone please help me?

If it is in your local machine, please restart the application, remove the browser cache and try again. — Md. Abu Taleb, Dec 05 '19 at 10:57
Did you use the same filename? In that case it's probably cached by your browser. — Jerodev, Dec 05 '19 at 10:58
Open your devtools and follow this way: dev tools > network > disable cache https://stackoverflow.com/a/7000899/9487875 — Yusuf U., Dec 05 '19 at 13:27

Just add a query string after end of the css file.Then it will not use cached file css. Like ?v=1,?v=2 or any random string.

Example

 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.sstatic.net/Sites/stackoverflow/primary.css?v=1a040064279b" >

you can also use php function

?v=echo time();

For custom CSS file in laravel, use time() function by the following method:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{asset('css/style.css?v=').time()}}">

Remember ?v= is just used for getting value by the time() function that will generate random number every time when you refresh the page.
