<h1><a href="../cli/npm-cache.html">npm-cache</a></h1> <p>Manipulates packages cache</p>
<h2 id="SYNOPSIS">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm cache add <tarball file>
npm cache add <folder>
npm cache add <tarball url>
npm cache add <name>@<version>
npm cache ls [<path>]
npm cache clean [<path>]</code></pre>
<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>
<h2 id="CONFIGURATION">CONFIGURATION</h2>
<h3 id="cache">cache</h3>
<p>Default: <code>~/.npm</code> on Posix, or <code>%AppData%/npm-cache</code> on Windows.</p>
<p>The root cache folder.</p>
