NAME


npm-cache - Manipulates packages cache

npm cache ls [<path>]

npm cache clean [<path>]

DESCRIPTION


Used to add, list, or clear the npm cache folder.

add Add the specified package to the local cache. This command is primarily intended to
be used internally by npm, but it can provide a way to add data to the local
installation cache explicitly.

ls Show the data in the cache. Argument is a path to show in the cache folder. Works a
bit like the find program, but limited by the depth config.

clean Delete data out of the cache folder. If an argument is provided, then it specifies
a subpath to delete. If no argument is provided, then the entire cache is cleared.

DETAILS


npm stores cache data in the directory specified in npm config get cache. For each package
that is added to the cache, three pieces of information are stored in
{cache}/{name}/{version}:

.../package/package.json
The package.json file, as npm sees it.

.../package.tgz
The tarball for that version.

Additionally, whenever a registry request is made, a .cache.json file is placed at the
corresponding URI, to store the ETag and the requested data. This is stored in
{cache}/{hostname}/{path}/.cache.json.

Commands that make non-essential registry requests (such as search and view, or the
completion scripts) generally specify a minimum timeout. If the .cache.json file is
younger than the specified timeout, then they do not make an HTTP request to the registry.

CONFIGURATION


cache
Default: ~/.npm on Posix, or %AppData%/npm-cache on Windows.
