applicationConfigHome function
Get the user-specific application configuration folder for the current platform.
This is a location appropriate for storing application specific
configuration for the current user. The productName
should be unique to
avoid clashes with other applications on the same machine. This method won't
actually create the folder, merely return the recommended location for
storing user-specific application configuration.
The folder location depends on the platform:
%APPDATA%\<productName>
on Windows,$HOME/Library/Application Support/<productName>
on Mac OS,$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/<productName>
on Linux (if$XDG_CONFIG_HOME
is defined), and,$HOME/.config/<productName>
otherwise.
This aims follows best practices for each platform, honoring the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux and File System Basics on Mac OS.
Throws an EnvironmentNotFoundException if %APPDATA%
or $HOME
is needed
but undefined.
Implementation
String applicationConfigHome(String productName) =>
path.join(_configHome, productName);
