Get cache size

[alr2413]

Hi, in the previous version 1.x.x, we can use the await DefaultCacheManager().getFilePath() syntax to get the default cache directory path. how should we get that path in the new version 2 since there is no "getFilePath()" method anymore? Thanks in advance

What's the usecase that you need to know the directory path?

[alr2413]

To calculate the cache size as mentioned in #83

I've been thinking about adding the getFilePath again, but that is not really a great solution. For example for web there is not really a path, so it wouldn't be consistent over platforms. I think it is better to implement a method to get the cache size. Would that be a good alternative for you?

Yea, i've checked the previous version of the package and figured out how to add the "getFilePath" method to my custom implementation. Thanks.

same question

[esiqveland]

Is there currently a way to get the total size of cache and the number of objects cached?

[aintend-com]

Is this implemented?

@renefloor how about something like:
