This action wraps action/cache to install your npm dependencies in an optimised way.

It differs from directly using action/cache & npm ci in the following ways:

• We cache post-installation (node_modules) rather than pre-installation (~/.npm), to skip post-install script processing
• We always use the image version in the key, so native code is safe
• We de-duplicate files in the cache to save on download time
• We save the cache immediately after installing, to be insultated from build issues (e.g. creating spurious node_modules directories)

To use it, add the following to your GitHub workflow steps:

uses: trilogy-group/action-npm-install-dependencies@v1

If you want to use a different token to access repositories, you can do this:

uses: trilogy-group/action-npm-install-dependencies@v1
env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ENG_STD_TOKEN }}
