find-cache-dir

Tech stack & purpose

find-cache-directory is a Node.js module that helps developers locate a standardized cache directory within their project's `node_modules` folder. The module implements a shared specification adopted by projects like nyc and AVA, allowing multiple npm packages to store cache files in a consistent location structure (e.g., `./node_modules/.cache/your-module`), which simplifies cache management across dependencies. It's built in JavaScript and works by checking environment variables and searching parent directories for a `package.json` file to determine the appropriate cache path. The module is used by several major projects including Storybook, Babel-loader, and ESLint-loader.
