[npm] scripts - npm cache clean -> bower cache clean

[Aaron Gray]

Hi I have a :-

"scripts": {
"install": "cd public && bower install"
}

I wanted a :-

"scripts": {
...
"cache.clean": "cd public && bower cache clean"
},

but cannot work out how to specify it if it is allowed ?

any thanks in advance,

Aaron

There is no npm lifecycle script for cache clearing -- it's a global action, not related to your package at all. so, too, is the bower cache, I believe.

However, if you're needing to clear the cache, you've either found a bug in npm, or using an old version. I strongly suggest using the latest npm, clearing your cache after the upgrade, and then not doing that any more.

Thanks I was confusing clearing the cache with clearing out /
deleteing all node_modules and bower_component directories.
