Cache

The main goal of caching is to reduce time spent on compiling of modules. It's enabled by default.

Your cache is located by default in ${APP_ROOT}/.cache

When running production mode - runProd() cache will be ALWAYS disabled and all of its settings will be ignored.

Setting custom cache folder

Sometimes it's required to set different cache folders in order to avoid cache collision. FuseBox makes a unique combination of the target folder for caching (based on your entries). However, if you have 2 instances of FuseBox pointed to the same entry point it's always a good idea to set different folders

fusebox({
  cache: { root: path.join(__dirname, '.cache/server') },
});

Setting cache strategy

FuseBox will write cache to the file system by default and restore next time your launch fuse.ts. It's extremeley useful if you're working with large code base application which require some time to get bundled.

You can set the strategy to memory to avoid writing to the file system

fusebox({
  cache: { enabled: true, strategy: 'memory' /* or 'fs' */ },
});
