Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

v0.2.2

Readme

configdir

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Return a directory for user-specific configuration files.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/os-configdir

Usage

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 LOCALAPPDATA environment variable before checking for an APPDATA environment variable. This means that machine specific user configuration files have precedence over roaming user configuration files.

Examples

var configdir = require( '@stdlib/os-configdir' );

console.log( configdir( 'appy/config' ) );
