|

|
|

|
|
|
<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 <code>$HOME/.npm</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>
