Finds the common standard cache directory
The nyc
and AVA
projects decided to standardize on a common directory structure for storing cache information:
# nyc
./node_modules/.cache/nyc
# ava
./node_modules/.cache/ava
# your-module
./node_modules/.cache/your-module
This module makes it easy to correctly locate the cache directory according to this shared spec. If this pattern becomes ubiquitous, clearing the cache for multiple dependencies becomes easy and consistent:
rm -rf ./node_modules/.cache
If you decide to adopt this pattern, please file a PR adding your name to the list of adopters below.
$ npm install find-cache-dir
const findCacheDir = require('find-cache-dir');
findCacheDir({name: 'unicorns'});
//=> '/user/path/node-modules/.cache/unicorns'
Finds the cache directory using the supplied options. The algorithm checks for the CACHE_DIR
environmental variable and uses it if it is not set to true
, false
, 1
or 0
. If one is not found, it tries to find a package.json
file, searching every parent directory of the cwd
specified (or implied from other options). It returns a string
containing the absolute path to the cache directory, or undefined
if package.json
was never found or if the node_modules
directory is unwritable.
Type: object
Required\
Type: string
Should be the same as your project name in package.json
.
Type: string[] | string
An array of files that will be searched for a common parent directory. This common parent directory will be used in lieu of the cwd
option below.
Type: string
\
Default process.cwd()
Directory to start searching for a package.json
from.
Type: boolean
\
Default false
If true
, the directory will be created synchronously before returning.
Type: boolean
\
Default false
If true
, this modifies the return type to be a function that is a thunk for path.join(theFoundCacheDirectory)
.
const thunk = findCacheDir({name: 'foo', thunk: true});
thunk();
//=> '/some/path/node_modules/.cache/foo'
thunk('bar.js')
//=> '/some/path/node_modules/.cache/foo/bar.js'
thunk('baz', 'quz.js')
//=> '/some/path/node_modules/.cache/foo/baz/quz.js'
This is helpful for actually putting actual files in the cache!
find-cache-dir
, set the CACHE_DIR
environment variable to temporarily override the directory that is resolved.
