Is there a way to mannally refresh the view cache?

I am designing a blog that supports theme switching without restarting the server, but the view cache is a problem. And I don't want to disable it.

Hello! There may be different types of cache involved here. Express itself just caches the view name to actual file path mapping. Is that the cache you need to clear? Express itself does not read the contents of the file or cache them.

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, how to manually refresh the path mapping?

The cache contents you will find in app.cache object. Just delete the keys you would like to have Express do a new path search for.

Got it, I will have a try. Thanks a lot!
