cacheDirectory pointing to environment variable

[dlarr]

Hello

NX comes with a caching feature, config is done in the nx.json file

I would like to use environment variable to set the cacheDirectory

is it possible to use a system environment variable in the path to cacheDirectory ? is it possible to use a specific environment variable NX_MY_CACHE_PATH for instance ?

Below and example : Is there a way to tell NX that $HOME must be interpreted and replaced ?

If this is not possible, would you care to implement the $NX_SOME_VAR interpreter ? so it uses the variable ?

Example :

// nx.json
{
  ...
  "tasksRunnerOptions": {
    "default": {
      "runner": "@nrwl/workspace/tasks-runners/default",
      "options": {
        "cacheableOperations": ["build", "lint", "test", "e2e"],
        "cacheDirectory":  "$HOME/workspace/cache_nx"
      }
    }
  }

}

What do you think of this ?
