| |
| <h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2> |
| |
| <pre><code>npm cache add <tarball file> |
| npm cache add <folder> |
| npm cache add <tarball url> |

| |
| npm cache ls [<path>] |

| |
| <h2 id="DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</h2> |
| |
| <p>Used to add, list, or clear the npm cache folder.</p> |
| |
| <ul><li><p>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.</p></li><li><p>ls: |
| Show the data in the cache. Argument is a path to show in the cache |
| folder. Works a bit like the <code>find</code> program, but limited by the |
| <code>depth</code> config.</p></li><li><p>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.</p></li></ul> |
| |
| <h2 id="DETAILS">DETAILS</h2> |
| |
| <p>npm stores cache data in the directory specified in <code>npm config get cache</code>. |
| For each package that is added to the cache, three pieces of information are |
| stored in <code>{cache}/{name}/{version}</code>:</p> |
| |
| <ul><li>.../package/: |
| A folder containing the package contents as they appear in the tarball.</li><li>.../package.json: |
| The package.json file, as npm sees it, with overlays applied and a _id attribute.</li><li>.../package.tgz: |
| The tarball for that version.</li></ul> |
| |
| <p>Additionally, whenever a registry request is made, a <code>.cache.json</code> file |
| is placed at the corresponding URI, to store the ETag and the requested |
| data.</p> |
| |
| <p>Commands that make non-essential registry requests (such as <code>search</code> and |
| <code>view</code>, or the completion scripts) generally specify a minimum timeout. |
| If the <code>.cache.json</code> file is younger than the specified timeout, then |
| they do not make an HTTP request to the registry.</p> |
| |

| |
| <p>Default: <code>~/.npm</code> on Posix, or <code>%AppData%/npm-cache</code> on Windows.</p> |
| |
