env-paths

Get paths for storing things like data, config, cache, etc

Uses the correct OS-specific paths. Most developers get this wrong.

Install

$ npm install env-paths

Usage

const envPaths = require('env-paths');

const paths = envPaths('MyApp');

paths.data;
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.local/share/MyApp-nodejs'

paths.config
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.config/MyApp-nodejs'

API

paths = envPaths(name, options?)

Note: It only generates the path strings. It doesn't create the directories for you. You could use make-dir to create the directories.

name

Type: string

Name of your project. Used to generate the paths.

options

Type: object

suffix

Type: string
Default: 'nodejs'

Don't use this option unless you really have to!
Suffix appended to the project name to avoid name conflicts with native apps. Pass an empty string to disable it.
