cache-cleaner

A small utility to clear development and browser caches to help speed up iteration and avoid stale assets during local development.

Features
- Node API: detect and remove common cache/build folders like .next, .vite, dist, build, and node_modules/.cache.
- Browser API: clear localStorage, sessionStorage, delete IndexedDB (when available), unregister service workers, and optionally hard reload the page.
- CLI: npx cache-cleaner with options for dry-run and custom folders.

Usage

Node:

``js
import { clearCache } from 'cache-cleaner';

await clearCache(['dist', 'node_modules/.cache']);
`

Browser:

`js
import { clearBrowserCache } from 'cache-cleaner';

clearBrowserCache({
clearLocalStorage: true,
clearSessionStorage: true,
clearIndexedDB: true,
unregisterServiceWorkers: true,
hardReload: true
});
`

CLI:

npx cache-cleaner
`
