> Functions necessary for caching dependencies and build outputs to improve workflow execution time.
## Usage
#### Restore Cache
Restores a cache based on `key` and `restoreKeys` to the `paths` provided. Function returns the cache key for cache hit and returns undefined if cache not found.
```js
const cache = require('@actions/cache');
const paths = [
'node_modules',
'packages/*/node_modules/'
]
const key = 'npm-foobar-d5ea0750'
const restoreKeys = [
'npm-foobar-',
'npm-'
]
const cacheKey = await cache.restoreCache(paths, key, restoreKeys)
```
#### Save Cache
Saves a cache containing the files in `paths` using the `key` provided. Function returns the cache id if the cache was save succesfully.
```js
const cache = require('@actions/cache');
const paths = [
'node_modules',
'packages/*/node_modules/'
]
const key = 'npm-foobar-d5ea0750'
const cacheId = await cache.saveCache(paths, key)
```
