## Node - npm
For npm, cache files are stored in `~/.npm` on Posix, or `~\AppData\npm-cache` on Windows. See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache#cache
For npm, cache files are stored in `~/.npm` on Posix, or `~\AppData\npm-cache` on Windows, but it's possible to use `npm config get cache` to find the path on any platform. See https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache#cache for more details.
If using `npm config` to retrieve the cache directory, ensure you run [actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node) first to ensure your `npm` version is correct.
>Note: It is not recommended to cache `node_modules`, as it can break across Node versions and won't work with `npm ci`
### macOS and Ubuntu
```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: ~/.npm
key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-node-
```
### Windows
```yaml
- name: Get npm cache directory
id: npm-cache
run: |
echo "::set-output name=dir::$(npm config get cache)"
- uses: actions/cache@v3
with:
path: ${{ steps.npm-cache.outputs.dir }}
key: ${{ runner.os }}-node-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |

### Using multiple systems and `npm config`
