These types are not exported by webpack, but they are available to TypeScript consumers.
Options object for persistent file-based caching.
Attributes
allowCollectingMemory:
<boolean>Allows to collect unused memory allocated during deserialization. This requires copying data into smaller buffers and has a performance cost.
buildDependencies:
<object>Dependencies the build depends on (in multiple categories, default categories: 'defaultWebpack').
cacheDirectory:
<string>Base directory for the cache (defaults to node_modules/.cache/webpack).
cacheLocation:
<string>Locations for the cache (defaults to cacheDirectory / name).
compression:
{false|"gzip"|"brotli"} Compression type used for the cache files.
hashAlgorithm:
<string>Algorithm used for generation the hash (see node.js crypto package).
idleTimeout:
<number>Time in ms after which idle period the cache storing should happen.
idleTimeoutAfterLargeChanges:
<number>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:
<number>Time in ms after which idle period the initial cache storing should happen.
immutablePaths:
<string>
|
<RegExp[]>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:
<string>
|
<RegExp[]>List of paths that are managed by a package manager and can be trusted to not be modified otherwise.
maxAge:
<number>Time for which unused cache entries stay in the filesystem cache at minimum (in milliseconds).
maxMemoryGenerations:
<number>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:
<boolean>Additionally cache computation of modules that are unchanged and reference only unchanged modules in memory.
name:
<string>Name for the cache. Different names will lead to different coexisting caches.
profile:
<boolean>Track and log detailed timing information for individual cache items.
readonly:
<boolean>Enable/disable readonly mode.
store:
{"pack"} When to store data to the filesystem. (pack: Store data when compiler is idle in a single file).
type:
{"filesystem"} Filesystem caching.
version:
<string>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.
Options object for in-memory caching.
Attributes
cacheUnaffected:
<boolean>Additionally cache computation of modules that are unchanged and reference only unchanged modules.
maxGenerations:
<number>Number of generations unused cache entries stay in memory cache at minimum (1 = may be removed after unused for a single compilation, ..., Infinity: kept forever).
type:
{"memory"} In memory caching.
