    eleventyConfig.addPlugin(eleventyAutoCacheBuster, {
        enableLogging: true,  // Whether to enable eleventy-auto-cache-buster logging.
        hashTruncate: 0,  // Desired substring length of the hash. Set to 0 or lower to disable truncating
        runAsync: false,  // Whether to run asynchronously. Default is true
        globstring: "**/*.ico",  // What glob string is used to locate assets.
        hashAlgorithm: "sha1",  // What hash method to pass to the hash function. See Node.js' crypto.createHash documentation.
        hashFunction: function (content) { return "example" }  // What function to run to calculate hashes. Overrides hashAlgorithm.
    });
