Is there a Way to Cache npm install like using 'laravel new blog' / composer install?

If we are going to use All Laravel Elixir Dependancy... is there a way to cache or load it in cache once we install it? Like When we use laravel installer, once it dowloads all the packages it cached the packages so when next time you use the command laravel new ProjectName. It Will Be Faster....

Has Anyone Already think of this? Coz its kinda time consuming downloading same packages..

You could tar up the node_modules directory then just un-tar it in the next project I guess. Eg:

tar -czf ~/node_laravel.tgz node_modules

then when you create a new project just do :

tar -xzf ~/node_laravel.tgz

I'm entirely guessing if that works ok for npm though :-)
