# v8-compile-cache
|
||
|
||
[](https://travis-ci.org/zertosh/v8-compile-cache)
|
||
|
||
`v8-compile-cache` attaches a `require` hook to use [V8's code cache](https://v8project.blogspot.com/2015/07/code-caching.html) to speed up instantiation time. The "code cache" is the work of parsing and compiling done by V8.
|
||
|
||
The ability to tap into V8 to produce/consume this cache was introduced in [Node v5.7.0](https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v5.7.0/).
|
||
|
||
## Usage
|
||
|
||
1. Add the dependency:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
$ npm install --save v8-compile-cache
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
2. Then, in your entry module add:
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
require('v8-compile-cache');
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
**Requiring `v8-compile-cache` in Node <5.7.0 is a noop – but you need at least Node 4.0.0 to support the ES2015 syntax used by `v8-compile-cache`.**
|
||
|
||
## Options
|
||
|
||
Set the environment variable `DISABLE_V8_COMPILE_CACHE=1` to disable the cache.
|
||
|
||
## Internals
|
||
|
||
The caches are stored in `$TMP/v8-compile-cache/V8_VERSION`, where there are `.BLOB` and `.MAP` files corresponding to the entry module that required `v8-compile-cache`. The cache is _entry module specific_ because it is faster to load the entire code cache into memory at once, than it is to read it from disk on a file-by-file basis.
|
||
|
||
## Benchmarks
|
||
|
||
See https://github.com/zertosh/v8-compile-cache/tree/master/bench.
|
||
|
||
**Load Times:**
|
||
|
||
| Module | Without Cache | With Cache |
|
||
| ---------------- | -------------:| ----------:|
|
||
| `babel-core` | `218ms` | `185ms` |
|
||
| `yarn` | `153ms` | `113ms` |
|
||
| `yarn` (bundled) | `228ms` | `105ms` |
|
||
|
||
_^ Includes the overhead of loading the cache itself._
