cache-loader

Caches the result of following webpack loaders on disk (or database) to speed up subsequent builds. The current stable version is 4.1.0, actively maintained by the webpack-contrib team. Key differentiator: it caches at the loader level rather than at the module level like hard-source-webpack-plugin, making it ideal for expensive transpilation or compilation loaders. Note that there is overhead for reading/writing cache files, so only use for expensive loaders. Supports configurable cache directory, cache key, cache identifier, read/write functions, and read-only mode.
