### Pre-requisites

||||
|
||||
Create a workflow `.yml` file in your repositories `.github/workflows` directory. An [example workflow](#example-workflow) is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for [Creating a workflow file](https://help.github.com/en/articles/configuring-a-workflow#creating-a-workflow-file).

### Inputs
|
||||
|
||||
* `path` - A list of files, directories, and wildcard patterns to cache and restore. See [`@actions/glob`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/glob) for supported patterns.
|
||||
* `key` - An explicit key for restoring and saving the cache
|
||||
* `key` - An explicit key for restoring and saving the cache. Refer [creating a cache key](#creating-a-cache-key).
|
||||
* `restore-keys` - An ordered list of prefix-matched keys to use for restoring stale cache if no cache hit occurred for key.
|
||||
* `enableCrossOsArchive` - An optional boolean when enabled, allows Windows runners to save or restore caches that can be restored or saved respectively on other platforms. Default: false
|
||||
|
||||
#### Environment Variables
|
||||
|
||||
* `SEGMENT_DOWNLOAD_TIMEOUT_MINS` - Segment download timeout (in minutes, default `60`) to abort download of the segment if not completed in the defined number of minutes. [Read more](https://github.com/actions/cache/blob/main/tips-and-workarounds.md#cache-segment-restore-timeout)
|
||||
|
||||
### Outputs
|
||||
|
||||
* `cache-hit` - A boolean value to indicate an exact match was found for the key.
|
||||
* `cache-hit` - A boolean value to indicate an exact match was found for the key.
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: `cache-hit` will be set to `true` only when cache hit occurs for the exact `key` match. For a partial key match via `restore-keys` or a cache miss, it will be set to `false`.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Skipping steps based on cache-hit](#skipping-steps-based-on-cache-hit) for info on using this output
|
||||
|
||||
### Cache scopes
|
||||
|
||||
The cache is scoped to the key, [version](#cache-version) and branch. The default branch cache is available to other branches.
|
||||
|
||||
See [Matching a cache key](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#matching-a-cache-key) for more info.

If the provided `key` matches an existing cache, a new cache is not created and if the provided `key` doesn't match an existing cache, a new cache is automatically created provided the job completes successfully.
|

The `cache` action provides one output `cache-hit` which is set to `true` when cache is restored using primary key and `false` when cache is restored using `restore-keys` or no cache is restored.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Using combination of restore and save actions
|
||||
|
||||

|

#### Saving cache once and reusing in multiple workflows
|
||||
|
||||
In case of multi-module projects, where the built artifact of one project needs to be reused in subsequent child modules, the need of rebuilding the parent module again and again with every build can be eliminated. The `actions/cache` or `actions/cache/save` action can be used to build and save the parent module artifact once, and restored multiple times while building the child modules.
|
||||
|
||||
##### Step 1 - Build the parent module and save it
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Saving Primes
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

||||

|
||||
path/to/dependencies
|
||||
some/other/dependencies
|
||||
key: ${{ runner.os }}-primes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
##### Step 2 - Restore the built artifact from cache using the same key and path
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
name: Restoring Primes
|
||||
|
||||

> **Note**
|
||||
> You must use the `cache` or `restore` action in your workflow before you need to use the files that might be restored from the cache. If the provided `key` matches an existing cache, a new cache is not created and if the provided `key` doesn't match an existing cache, a new cache is automatically created provided the job completes successfully.
|
||||
|
||||
## Caching Strategies
|
||||
|
||||
With introduction of two new actions `restore` and `save`, a lot of caching use cases can now be achieved. Please refer the [caching strategies](./caching-strategies.md) document for understanding how you can use the actions strategically to achieve the desired goal.

Cache version is a hash [generated](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/500d0b42fee2552ae9eeb5933091fe2fbf14e72d/packages/cache/src/internal/cacheHttpClient.ts#L73-L90) for a combination of compression tool used (Gzip, Zstd, etc. based on the runner OS) and the `path` of directories being cached. If two caches have different versions, they are identified as unique caches while matching. This for example, means that a cache created on `windows-latest` runner can't be restored on `ubuntu-latest` as cache `Version`s are different.

## Restoring and saving caches
|
||||
|
||||
### Restoring and saving cache using a single action
|
||||
|
||||
The [cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) action allows caching dependencies and restoring them using a single action. It has a `main` step and a `post` step. In the `main` step, the cache is restored if it exists for the input `key`, `path` combination. If cache is not found for the given `key` input, then cache is restored using `restore keys`. If the cache doesn't exist or is restored using `restore-keys`, the cache is saved in the `post` step of this action.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- uses: actions/cache@v3
|
||||
with:
|
||||
path: |
|
||||
path/to/dependencies
|
||||
some/other/dependencies
|
||||
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The `cache` action provides one output `cache-hit` which is set to `true` when cache is restored using primary key and `false` when cache is restored using `restore-keys` or no cache is restored.
|
||||
|
||||
### Download remaining dependencies in case of cache miss
|
||||
|
||||
In case cache gets download using restore keys, there's a chance that some dependencies might be missing. It might also be possible that no cache was restored because there was no match. In such cases, the output `cache-hit` is set to `false`. We can make use of this output to download the remaining dependencies.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- uses: actions/cache@v3
|
||||
with:
|
||||
path: |
|
||||

### Saving cache once and reusing in multiple workflows
|
||||
|
||||
In case of multi-module projects, where the built artifact of one project needs to be reused in subsequent child modules, the need of rebuilding the parent module again and again with every build can be eliminated. The `actions/cache` or `actions/cache/save` action can be used to build and save the parent module artifact once, and restored multiple times while building the child modules.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1 - Build the parent module and save it
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Build
|
||||
run: ./build-parent-module.sh
|
||||
|
||||
- uses: actions/cache/save@v3
|
||||
id: cache
|
||||
with:
|
||||
path: path/to/dependencies
|
||||
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 2 - Restore the built artifact from cache using the same key and path
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
steps:
|
||||
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
|
||||
|
||||
- uses: actions/cache/restore@v3
|
||||
id: cache
|
||||
with:
|
||||
path: path/to/dependencies
|
||||
key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Install Dependencies
|
||||
if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
|
||||
run: ./install.sh
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Build
|
||||
run: ./build-child-module.sh
|
||||
|
||||
- name: Publish package to public
|
||||
run: ./publish.sh
|
||||
```
