How to force cache expiration in node / angular / nginx application

Question

I have a node / angular / nginx application, and when I do a new deployment, I need to make the cache expire in browsers.

There are tools for this for js files (adding? Versions to a file), but they do not work for html templates and css.

Has anyone here had the same problem? How did you solve it?

thanks
