Cache Dependencies

Cache application dependencies

The following Dagger Function uses a cache volume for application dependencies. This enables Dagger to reuse the contents of the cache across Dagger Function runs and reduce execution time.

:::note The default location for the cache directory depends on the package manager (~/.cache/pip for pip or ~/.cache/pypoetry for poetry). :::

Example

Build an application using cached dependencies:

<Tabs groupId="shell">
<TabItem value="System shell">
```shell
dagger -c 'build .'
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Dagger Shell">
```shell title="First type 'dagger' for interactive mode."
build .
```
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="Dagger CLI">
```shell
dagger call build --source=.
```
</TabItem>
</Tabs>
