Struct ProjectDirs

pub struct ProjectDirs { /* private fields */ }

ProjectDirs computes the cache, config or data directories for a specific application, which are derived from the standard directories and the name of the project/organization.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs, except that the functions create the directories if they don’t exist, open them, and return Dirs instead of returning Paths.

Unlike directories_next::ProjectDirs, this API has no ProjectDirs::from_path, ProjectDirs::path or ProjectDirs::project_path, and the *_dir functions return Dirs rather than Paths, because absolute paths don’t interoperate well with the capability model.

Implementations

impl ProjectDirs

pub fn from( qualifier: &str, organization: &str, application: &str, ambient_authority: AmbientAuthority, ) -> Option<Self>

Creates a ProjectDirs struct from values describing the project.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs::from.

Ambient Authority

This function makes use of ambient authority to access the project directories.

pub fn cache_dir(&self) -> Result<Dir>

Returns the project’s cache directory.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs::cache_dir.

pub fn config_dir(&self) -> Result<Dir>

Returns the project’s config directory.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs::config_dir.

pub fn data_dir(&self) -> Result<Dir>

Returns the project’s data directory.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs::data_dir.

pub fn data_local_dir(&self) -> Result<Dir>

Returns the project’s local data directory.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs::data_local_dir.

pub fn runtime_dir(&self) -> Result<Dir>

Returns the project’s runtime directory.

This corresponds to directories_next::ProjectDirs::runtime_dir.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ProjectDirs

fn clone(&self) -> ProjectDirs

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
