Utilize for build caching on Netlify #72

Open eliwilliamson opened 6 years ago

eliwilliamson commented 6 years ago

It would be awesome if this (or a version of this) plugin were compatible with the Netlify build process. There is a Gatsby plugin that utilizes Netlify's undocumented build .cache directory to speed up build times. I think this library could be slightly modified to work with netlify as well (utiliizing this directory).

This is the aforementioned plugin for reference: https://github.com/axe312ger/gatsby-plugin-netlify-cache/

objective: to build a site on netlify using gulp-newer as part of the build process to avoid reprocssing unchanged assets (imgs, etc.)

Would love to see this.
