## Caching NuGet Packages
The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under the hood for caching global packages data but requires less configuration settings. The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
The action searches for [NuGet Lock files](https://learn.microsoft.com/nuget/consume-packages/package-references-in-project-files#locking-dependencies) (`packages.lock.json`) in the repository root, calculates their hash and uses it as a part of the cache key. If lock file does not exist, this action throws error. Use `cache-dependency-path` for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.
> **Warning**: Caching NuGet packages is available since .NET SDK 2.1.500 and 2.2.100 as the NuGet lock file [is available](https://learn.microsoft.com/nuget/consume-packages/package-references-in-project-files#locking-dependencies) only for NuGet 4.9 and above.
```yaml
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
with:
dotnet-version: 6.x
cache: true
- run: dotnet restore --locked-mode
```
> **Note**: This action will only restore `global-packages` folder, so you will probably get the [NU1403](https://learn.microsoft.com/nuget/reference/errors-and-warnings/nu1403) error when running `dotnet restore`.
> To avoid this, you can use [`DisableImplicitNuGetFallbackFolder`](https://github.com/dotnet/reproducible-builds/blob/abfe986832aa28597d3340b92469d1a702013d23/Documentation/Reproducible-MSBuild/Techniques/DisableImplicitNuGetFallbackFolder.md) option.
```xml
<PropertyGroup>
<DisableImplicitNuGetFallbackFolder>true</DisableImplicitNuGetFallbackFolder>
</PropertyGroup>
```
### Reduce caching size
> **Note**: Use [`NUGET_PACKAGES`](https://learn.microsoft.com/nuget/reference/cli-reference/cli-ref-environment-variables) environment variable if available. Some action runners already has huge libraries. (ex. Xamarin)
```yaml
env:
NUGET_PACKAGES: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
with:
dotnet-version: 6.x
cache: true
- run: dotnet restore --locked-mode
```
### Caching NuGet packages in monorepos
```yaml
env:
NUGET_PACKAGES: ${{ github.workspace }}/.nuget/packages
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
with:
dotnet-version: 6.x
cache: true
cache-dependency-path: subdir/packages.lock.json
- run: dotnet restore --locked-mode
```
## Matrix Testing
Using `setup-dotnet` it's possible to use [matrix syntax](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstrategymatrix) to install several versions of .NET SDK:

- run: echo '${{ steps.stepid.outputs.dotnet-version }}' # outputs 2.2.207
```
### `cache-hit`
A boolean value to indicate an exact match was found for the cache key (follows [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache#outputs))
