env-paths-ts v1.0.1

env-paths-ts

Get paths for storing things like data, config, cache, etc

This is a re-write of env-paths for use in Typescript. It can also be used as a drop-in replacement for env-paths

Uses the correct OS-specific paths. Most developers get this wrong.

const paths = envPaths('MyApp');

//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.local/share/MyApp-nodejs'
