The reason the metadata is not included is because multiple entries can have the same digest. For instance if they are at different urls. There is no current way to correlate the data back to the individual items. That was not an original design concern of npm, once we have a digest we just want the data.
Is there an existing issue for this?
Current Behavior
I was wondering if it's possible to get info for a cache entry by digest? Something like
cacache.get.info.byDigest(cache, integrity)
cacache.get.info(cache, key)
only takes akey
andget.info.byDigest
doesn't exist. I seecacache.get.hasContent(cache, integrity)
which finds my cache entry but only tells me its size and some stats about the file. If it also returned thekey
then I could useget.info
.The only alternative I can really see to get the info (including
metadata
which I'm really interested in) is usingls
and iterating over its output but that seems kinda crazy!Also, I see that
cache.get.byDigest
does not return metadata by design so there is probably a technical reason this is not possible?Expected Behavior
