About stdlib...
We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.
The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.
When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.
To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!
Return a directory for user-specific configuration files.
npm install @stdlib/os-configdirvar configdir = require( '@stdlib/os-configdir' );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.
- 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.
var configdir = require( '@stdlib/os-configdir' );
console.log( configdir( 'appy/config' ) );-
@stdlib/os-configdir-cli: CLI package for use as a command-line utility. -
@stdlib/os-homedir: return the current user's home directory. -
@stdlib/os-tmpdir: return the directory for storing temporary files.
This package is part of stdlib, a standard library for JavaScript and Node.js, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computing. The library provides a collection of robust, high performance libraries for mathematics, statistics, streams, utilities, and more.
