appdirsjs
A node.js library to get paths to directories to store configs, caches and data according to OS standarts.
Installation
npm install appdirsjs
or
yarn install appdirsjs
if you're using yarn.
Usage
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
Keep backward compability
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:
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
