Package Exports
- app-cache-dir
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 (app-cache-dir) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

app-cache-dir
Get a path of the standard cache directory for a given application
const appCacheDir = require('app-cache-dir');
// On most Linuxes
appCacheDir('my-app'); //=> '/root/shinnn/.cache/my-app'
// On macOS
appCacheDir('my-app'); //=> '/Users/shinnn/.cache/my-app'
// On Windows
appCacheDir('my-app'); //=> 'C:\\Users\\shinnn\\AppData\\Local\\my-app\\cache'Installation
npm install app-cache-dirAPI
const appCacheDir = require('app-cache-dir');appCacheDir(appName)
appName: string (application name)
Return: string (absolute directory path)
It resolves an application name into its standard cache directory presented in the Atom issue tracker, with following the environment variables XDG_CACHE_HOME (POSIX) and LOCALAPPDATA (Windows).
Basically it results:
~/.cache/${appName}on POSIXC:\\Users\\${username}\\AppData\Local\${appName}\cacheon Windows
// On macOS
appCacheDir('hi'); //=> '/Users/shinnn/.cache/hi'
process.env.XDG_CACHE_HOME = '/foo/bar/';
appCacheDir('hi'); //=> '/foo/bar/hi'When it cannot resolve the cache path, for exmaple both HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME are empty, it returns ${os.tmpdir()}/${appName}/cache as a last resort.
appCacheDir.posix(appName)
appName: string
Return: string
Follow POSIX way regardless of the current OS.
appCacheDir.win32(appName)
appName: string
