Crate dotstore 

Library to create dot directories in common system places.

It’s essentially a wrapper around the dirs crate that allows you to create dot directories (e.g. /home/user/.project-name) in common places (e.g. Home dir, Config dir etc.) to store program data and configs.

You can also create them in custom locations

Examples

use dotstore;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    // Create a new directory called `/home/user/.barracuda`
    // The `.` is automatically appended
    let project_dir = dotstore::home_store("barracuda")?;

    // Create a new directory called `/home/user/.config/.editor`
    let editor_dir = dotstore::config_store("editor")?;

    // Create a new directory called `/home/user/workspace/middle-earth/.eregion`
    let custom_dir = dotstore::custom_store("/home/user/workspace/middle-earth", "eregion")?;

    Ok(())
}
