win-known-folders

A small package to easily retrieve the paths of Windows known folders.

Folders like 'Documents' can be modified by the user, so you should avoid accessing them using hardcoded paths like process.env["USERPROFILE"] + "/documents".

This package references registry values to return the paths of known folders.

Example

import { appdata, localAppdata, personal, video, music } from 'win-known-folders';

console.log(personal());
console.log(appdata());
console.log(localAppdata());
console.log(video());
console.log(music());

console.log(personal('utf-8')); // UTF-8 encoding
console.log(personal('cp949')); // cp949 (Korean) encoding
console.log(personal('cp932')); // cp932 (Japenese) encoding
