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 `$HOME/.npm`. For each package that is added -to the cache, three pieces of information are stored in -`{cache}/{name}/{version}`: - -* .../package/: - A folder containing the package contents as they appear in the tarball. -* .../package.json: - The package.json file, as npm sees it, with overlays applied and a _id attribute. -* .../package.tgz: - The tarball for that version. - -Additionally, whenever a registry request is made, a `.cache.json` file -is placed at the corresponding URI, to store the ETag and the requested -data. - -Commands that make non-essential registry requests (such as `search` and -`view`, or the completion scripts) generally specify a minimum timeout. -If the `.cache.json` file is younger than the specified timeout, then -they do not make an HTTP request to the registry. - -## CONFIGURATION - -### cache - -Default: `$HOME/.npm` on Posix, or `$HOME/npm-cache` on Windows. - -The root cache folder. - -## SEE ALSO - -* npm-folders(1) -* npm-config(1) -* npm-install(1) -* npm-publish(1) -* npm-pack(1) |
