webpack / FileCacheOptions

​
Interface: FileCacheOptions

Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:5990 Options object for persistent file-based caching.

​
Properties

​
allowCollectingMemory?

optional allowCollectingMemory: boolean
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:5994 Allows to collect unused memory allocated during deserialization. This requires copying data into smaller buffers and has a performance cost.

​
buildDependencies?

optional buildDependencies: object
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:5999 Dependencies the build depends on (in multiple categories, default categories: ‘defaultWebpack’).

​
Index Signature

[index: string]: string[]

​
cacheDirectory?

optional cacheDirectory: string
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6004 Base directory for the cache (defaults to node_modules/.cache/webpack).

​
cacheLocation?

optional cacheLocation: string
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6009 Locations for the cache (defaults to cacheDirectory / name).

​
compression?

optional compression: false | "gzip" | "brotli"
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6014 Compression type used for the cache files.

​
hashAlgorithm?

optional hashAlgorithm: string
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6019 Algorithm used for generation the hash (see node.js crypto package).

​
idleTimeout?

optional idleTimeout: number
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6024 Time in ms after which idle period the cache storing should happen.

​
idleTimeoutAfterLargeChanges?

optional idleTimeoutAfterLargeChanges: number
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6029 Time in ms after which idle period the cache storing should happen when larger changes has been detected (cumulative build time > 2 x avg cache store time).

​
idleTimeoutForInitialStore?

optional idleTimeoutForInitialStore: number
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6034 Time in ms after which idle period the initial cache storing should happen.

​
immutablePaths?

optional immutablePaths: (string | RegExp)[]
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6039 List of paths that are managed by a package manager and contain a version or hash in its path so all files are immutable.

​
managedPaths?

optional managedPaths: (string | RegExp)[]
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6044 List of paths that are managed by a package manager and can be trusted to not be modified otherwise.

​
maxAge?

optional maxAge: number
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6049 Time for which unused cache entries stay in the filesystem cache at minimum (in milliseconds).

​
maxMemoryGenerations?

optional maxMemoryGenerations: number
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6054 Number of generations unused cache entries stay in memory cache at minimum (0 = no memory cache used, 1 = may be removed after unused for a single compilation, …, Infinity: kept forever). Cache entries will be deserialized from disk when removed from memory cache.

​
memoryCacheUnaffected?

optional memoryCacheUnaffected: boolean
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6059 Additionally cache computation of modules that are unchanged and reference only unchanged modules in memory.

​
name?

optional name: string
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6064 Name for the cache. Different names will lead to different coexisting caches.

​
profile?

optional profile: boolean
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6069 Track and log detailed timing information for individual cache items.

​
readonly?

optional readonly: boolean
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6074 Enable/disable readonly mode.

​
store?

optional store: "pack"
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6079 When to store data to the filesystem. (pack: Store data when compiler is idle in a single file).

​
type

type: "filesystem"
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6084 Filesystem caching.

​
version?

optional version: string
Defined in: webpack/types.d.ts:6089 Version of the cache data. Different versions won’t allow to reuse the cache and override existing content. Update the version when config changed in a way which doesn’t allow to reuse cache. This will invalidate the cache.
