Cache-deps NPM

Cache Deps

Globally cache dependencies from a package-lock.json or a bower.json for faster installs.

Why?

I wanted NPM and Bower dependencies cached in a base docker image for faster builds of child images but there were no built in commands for populating the cache of either NPM or Bower, this is the tool to provide that functionality.

Install

npm i cache-deps -g

Usage

NPM

⚠️ Only tested with version 6.4.1
npm-cache-add --help

npm-cache-add package-lock.json

Bower

⚠️ Only tested with version 1.8.4

API

None as of now, it's on the TODO list.
