For npm, cache files are stored in `~/.npm` on Posix, or `~\AppData\npm-cache` on Windows, but it's possible to use `npm config get cache` to find the path on any platform. See [the npm docs](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/cache#cache) for more details.
If using `npm config` to retrieve the cache directory, ensure you run [actions/setup-node](https://github.com/actions/setup-node) first to ensure your `npm` version is correct.
+After [deprecation](https://github.blog/changelog/2022-10-11-github-actions-deprecating-save-state-and-set-output-commands/) of save-state and set-output commands, the correct way to set output is using `${GITHUB_OUTPUT}`. For linux, we can use `${GITHUB_OUTPUT}` whereas for windows we need to use `${env:GITHUB_OUTPUT}` due to two different default shells in these two different OS ie `bash` and `pwsh` respectively.
>Note: It is not recommended to cache `node_modules`, as it can break across Node versions and won't work with `npm ci`
+### **Get npm cache directory using default shells**
+### Linux or Mac
```yaml
- name: Get npm cache directory
- id: npm-cache-dir
- run: |
- echo "::set-output name=dir::$(npm config get cache)"
+ id: npm-cache
+ run: echo "dir=$(npm config get cache)" >> ${GITHUB_OUTPUT}
+```
+
+### Windows
+```yaml
+- name: Get npm cache directory
+ id: npm-cache
+ run: echo "dir=$(npm config get cache)" >> ${env:GITHUB_OUTPUT}
+```
+
+### **Get npm cache directory using same shell**
+### Bash shell
+```yaml
+- name: Get npm cache directory
+ id: npm-cache
+ shell: bash
+ run: echo "dir=$(npm config get cache)" >> ${GITHUB_OUTPUT}
+```
+
+### PWSH shell
+```yaml
+- name: Get npm cache directory
+ id: npm-cache
+ shell: pwsh
+ run: echo "dir=$(npm config get cache)" >> ${env:GITHUB_OUTPUT}
+```
+`Get npm cache directory` step can then be used with `actions/cache` as shown below
+
+```yaml
- uses: actions/cache@v3
id: npm-cache # use this to check for `cache-hit` ==> if: steps.npm-cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
