## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
If you just want OS-sensible paths.
|
|
```
|
|
configDirs := xdg.ConfigDirs()
|
|
dataPath := xdg.DataHome()
|
|
cachePath := xdg.CacheHome()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively you can create a context that would determine full paths for your application files.
|
|
```
|
|
app := xdg.App{Name: "someApp"}
|
|
configFile := app.ConfigPath("someApp.toml")
|
|
dataFile := app.DataPath("data.json")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Supported path types
|
|
|
|
This is a KISS implementation of the XDG Base Directory Specification. As of now it handles the following path types:
|
|
- Data (`XDG_DATA_*`) for application-wide or user-wide data.
|
|
- Config (`XDG_CONFIG_*`) for application-wide or user-wide config.
|
|
- Cache (`XDG_CACHE_*`)for application-wide or user-wide cached data.
|
|
|
|
## Multi-OS
|
|
|
|
The specification is Linux centric but this implementation targets more: Linux, OSX and Windows. Default values has been chosen regarding both the specification and the OS conventions. Note than you can override these values with the corresponding environment variables.
|
|
|
|
There are a lot of OSes missing but supporting them implies a good knowledge of these conventions and philosophies, contributors maybe?
