Dynamically version cache of files on browser side

I'm working on a web project where we use Nginx to serve static files. I'd like to add the version on static files so that we could force the client to update static files that have been edited. Right now we handle that issue manually on each file by adding the version of the file (... scr="file.js?v=1234" ... ) but they are more and more files on the project.



I need help, an advice to dynamically handle files versions on server with Nginx so that when we edit the file the version change dynamically and the client can automatically update to a newer version.



If it's seems to be impossible to handle with Nginx, I'm also open for all others solutions or advices.



Thanks
