npm-cache(3) -- manage the npm cache programmatically ===================================================== ## SYNOPSIS npm.commands.cache([args], callback) // helpers npm.commands.cache.clean([args], callback) npm.commands.cache.add([args], callback) npm.commands.cache.read(name, version, forceBypass, callback) ## DESCRIPTION This acts much the same ways as the npm-cache(1) command line functionality. The callback is called with the package.json data of the thing that is eventually added to or read from the cache. The top level `npm.commands.cache(...)` functionality is a public interface, and like all commands on the `npm.commands` object, it will match the command line behavior exactly. However, the cache folder structure and the cache helper functions are considered **internal** API surface, and as such, may change in future releases of npm, potentially without warning or significant version incrementation. Use at your own risk.
