Package Exports
- @stdlib/os-configdir
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@stdlib/os-configdir) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
configdir
Return a directory for user-specific configuration files.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/os-configdirUsage
var configdir = require( '@stdlib/os-configdir' );configdir( [path] )
Returns a directory for user-specific configuration files.
var dir = configdir();
// e.g., returns '/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences'To append a path to the base directory, provide a path argument.
var dir = configdir( 'appname/config' );
// e.g., returns '/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/appname/config'On non-Windows platforms, if the function is unable to locate the current user's home directory, the function returns null. Similarly, on Windows platforms, if the function is unable to locate an application data directory, the function also returns null.
Notes
- On Windows platforms, the function first checks for a
LOCALAPPDATAenvironment variable before checking for anAPPDATAenvironment variable. This means that machine specific user configuration files have precedence over roaming user configuration files.
Examples
