pub fn get_data_dir() -> Result<PathBuf>

Returns the platform-specific data directory for AGPM.

This function returns the appropriate data directory for storing persistent application data, following platform conventions and standards.

Returns

The data directory path ({data_dir}/agpm), or an error if it cannot be determined

Examples

use agpm_cli::utils::platform::get_data_dir;

let data_dir = get_data_dir()?;
println!("AGPM data directory: {}", data_dir.display());

// Use for storing persistent data
let lockfile_backup = data_dir.join("lockfile_backups");

Platform Paths

• Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/agpm or $HOME/.local/share/agpm
• macOS: $HOME/Library/Application Support/agpm
• Windows: %APPDATA%\agpm

Standards Compliance

• Linux: Follows XDG Base Directory Specification
• macOS: Follows Apple File System Programming Guide
• Windows: Follows Windows Known Folders conventions

Use Cases

• Storing user preferences and settings
• Application state and history
• User-created templates and profiles

Persistence

Unlike cache directories, data directories are intended for long-term storage and should persist across system updates and cleanup operations.

Difference from Cache

• Data directory: Persistent, user-important data
• Cache directory: Temporary, performance optimization data
