Feature Name

Use caching in GitHub Actions builds

Your Name

Description

Our React and Python builds are relatively slow, and most of that time is in installing dependencies. We want to cut this time down using for example:

Python: https://mckornfield.medium.com/caching-python-installs-in-github-actions-8309e12a15e6 Node:

name: Caching with npm
on: push
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Cache node modules
        id: cache-npm
        uses: actions/cache@v3
        env:
          cache-name: cache-node-modules
        with:
          # npm cache files are stored in `~/.npm` on Linux/macOS
          path: ~/.npm
          key: ${{ runner.os }}-build-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
          restore-keys: |
            ${{ runner.os }}-build-${{ env.cache-name }}-
            ${{ runner.os }}-build-
            ${{ runner.os }}-

      - if: ${{ steps.cache-npm.outputs.cache-hit != 'true' }}
        name: List the state of node modules
        continue-on-error: true
        run: npm list

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm install

      - name: Build
        run: npm run build

      - name: Test
        run: npm test
