appdirsjs


A node.js library to get paths to directories to store configs, caches and data according to OS standarts.

Installation

``sh
npm install appdirsjs
`

or

`sh
yarn install appdirsjs
`

if you're using yarn.

Usage

`javascript
import appDirs from "appdirsjs";

const dirs = appDirs({ appName: "expo" });

console.log(dirs.cache);
// /home/user/.cache/expo on Linux
// /Users/User/Library/Caches/expo on MacOS
// C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Temp\expo on Windows

console.log(dirs.config);
// /home/user/.config/expo on Linux
// /Users/User/Library/Preferences/expo on MacOS
// C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\expo

console.log(dirs.data);
// /home/user/.local/share/expo on Linux
// /Users/User/Library/Application Support/expo on MacOS
// C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\expo
`

Then switching from old-style dotfile directory,
such as ~/.myapp to new, like ~/.config/myapp,
you can pass legacyPath parameter
to keep using old directory if it exists:

`javascript
import * as path from "path";
import appDirs from "appdirsjs";

const dirs = appDirs({
appName: "expo",
// Notice usage of full path
legacyPath: path.join(os.homedir(), ".expo"),
});

console.log(dirs.config);
// /home/user/.expo
``
