Get XDG Base Directory paths
npm install xdg-basedir> Get XDG Base Directory paths
This package is meant for Linux. You should not use XDG on macOS or Windows. Instead, you should follow their platform conventions. You can use env-paths for that.
``
$ npm install xdg-basedir
`js
import {xdgData, xdgConfig, xdgDataDirectories} from 'xdg-basedir';
console.log(xdgData);
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.local/share'
console.log(xdgConfig);
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.config'
console.log(xdgDataDirectories);
//=> ['/home/sindresorhus/.local/share', '/usr/local/share/', '/usr/share/']
`
The exports xdgData, xdgConfig, xdgCache, xdgRuntime will return undefined in the uncommon case that both the XDG environment variable is not set and the users home directory can't be found. You need to handle this case. A common solution is to fall back to a temporary directory.
