  (optional) TRANSIFEX_CDS_HOST=<CDS HOST>

  or passed as --token=<TOKEN> --secret=<SECRET> parameters

txjs-cli invalidate

invalidate and refresh CDS cache

USAGE
  $ txjs-cli invalidate

OPTIONS
  --cds-host=cds-host  CDS host URL
  --purge              force delete CDS cached content
  --secret=secret      native project secret
  --token=token        native project public token

DESCRIPTION
  Content for delivery is cached in CDS and refreshed automatically every hour.
  This command triggers a refresh of cached content on the fly.

  By default, invalidation does not remove existing cached content, but
  starts the process of updating with latest translations from Transifex.

  Passing the --purge option, cached content will be forced to be deleted,
  however use that with caution, as it may introduce downtime of
  translation delivery to the apps until fresh content is cached in the CDS.

  To invalidate translations some environment variables must be set:
  TRANSIFEX_TOKEN=<Transifex Native Project Token>
  TRANSIFEX_SECRET=<Transifex Native Project Secret>
  (optional) TRANSIFEX_CDS_HOST=<CDS HOST>

  or passed as --token=<TOKEN> --secret=<SECRET> parameters

  Default CDS Host is https://cds.svc.transifex.net

  Examples:
  txjs-cli invalidate
  txjs-cli invalidate --purge
  txjs-cli invalidate --token=mytoken --secret=mysecret
  TRANSIFEX_TOKEN=mytoken TRANSIFEX_SECRET=mysecret txjs-cli invalidate
