cache-directory
Find the proper cache directory based on operating system
npm install cache-directory
cache-directory
takes one argument, the app name.
var cacheDir = require('cache-directory');
console.log(cacheDir('myApp'));
When run on OS X, cache-directory
assumes it isn't run in a sandboxed process environment. If it is, it will probably break. Additionally, the app name is used instead of the conventional bundle identifier (for simplicity and because many cache-directory
consumers won't necessarily have a bundle identifier).
If a suitable cache directory can't be found, cache-directory
will return null
. You need to handle this case. A reasonable course of action would be to use a temp directory, for which you can use the cache-or-tmp-directory
module.
