app_dirs2

Put your app's data in the right place on every platform

crates.io:app_dirs2

This is the up-to-date version of app_dirs

The original app_dirs crate is deprecated and unmaintained. This is a drop-in-replacement fork that keeps the crate working and up-to-date.

This is a community-maintained project, so if you find a bug or the crate is missing support for your platform, please help out.

There are no major changes planned. If you're looking for a crate with more features, check out the directories crate.

Documentation & examples

https://docs.rs/app_dirs2

Installation

Add the following to your Cargo.toml under [dependencies]:

app_dirs = { package = "app_dirs2", version = "2.5" }

The syntax with package allows you to keep the old name in the code (use app_dirs::*), so you only need to change one line in Cargo.toml.
