Synopsis
use XDG::BaseDirectory;
my $bd = XDG::BaseDirectory.new
for $bd.load-config-paths('mydomain.org', 'MyProg', 'Options') -> $d {
say $d;
}
# Directories can be made available as terms as well
use XDG::BaseDirectory :terms;
say config-home;
Description
This is loosely based on the interface of python module pyxdg. But due to the differences between Python and Raku it may do some things differently.
It provides a set of facilities for discovering the location of the configuration and data of applications.
I split this out from the XDG module as it has more general usefulness and no external dependencies.
Installation
Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation with zef installed you can install from a copy of the source directory:
zef install .
or remotely:
zef install XDG::BaseDirectory
Support
