## Usage

Turbopack FileSystem Cache enables Turbopack to reduce work across `next dev` or `next build` commands. When enabled, Turbopack will save and restore data to the `.next` folder between builds, which can greatly speed up subsequent builds and dev sessions.

> **Good to know:** The FileSystem Cache feature is considered stable for development and experimental for production builds

```ts filename="next.config.ts" switcher
import type { NextConfig } from 'next'

const nextConfig: NextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next dev`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next build`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForBuild: true,
  },
}

export default nextConfig
```

```js filename="next.config.js" switcher
/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const nextConfig = {
  experimental: {
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next dev`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForDev: true,
    // Enable filesystem caching for `next build`
    turbopackFileSystemCacheForBuild: true,
  },
}

module.exports = nextConfig
```
