|
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\.
|
|
.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
ls:
|
|
Show the data in the cache\. Argument is a path to show in the cache
|
|
folder\. Works a bit like the \fBfind\fR program, but limited by the \fBdepth\fR config\.
|
|
.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
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\.

.SH "DETAILS"
|
|
npm stores cache data in the directory specified in \fBnpm config get cache\fR\|\.
|
|
For each package that is added to the cache, three pieces of information are
|
|
stored in \fB{cache}/{name}/{version}\fR:
|
|
.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
\|\.\.\./package/:
|
|
A folder containing the package contents as they appear in the tarball\.
|
|
.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
\|\.\.\./package\.json:
|
|
The package\.json file, as npm sees it, with overlays applied and a _id attribute\.
|
|
.
|
|
.IP "\(bu" 4
|
|
\|\.\.\./package\.tgz:
|
|
The tarball for that version\.
|
|
.

.P
|
|
Additionally, whenever a registry request is made, a \fB\|\.cache\.json\fR file
|
|
is placed at the corresponding URI, to store the ETag and the requested
|
|
data\.
|
|
.
|
|
.P
|
|
Commands that make non\-essential registry requests (such as \fBsearch\fR and \fBview\fR, or the completion scripts) generally specify a minimum timeout\.
|
|
If the \fB\|\.cache\.json\fR file is younger than the specified timeout, then
|
|
they do not make an HTTP request to the registry\.

.SH "CONFIGURATION"
