```


## Usage

```js
var xdgBasedir = require('xdg-basedir');

xdgBasedir.data;
//=> '/home/sindresorhus/.local/share'

## API

The properties `.data`, `.config`, `.cache`, `.runtime` will return `null` in the uncommon case that both the XDG environment variable is not set and the users home directory can't be found. You need to handle this case. A common solution is to [fall back to a temp directory](https://github.com/yeoman/configstore/blob/b82690fc401318ad18dcd7d151a0003a4898a314/index.js#L15).

### .data

Directory for user specific data files.

### .config

Directory for user specific configuration files.

### .cache

Directory for user specific non-essential data files.

### .runtime

Directory for user-specific non-essential runtime files and other file objects (such as sockets, named pipes, etc).

### .dataDirs

Preference-ordered array of base directories to search for data files in addition to `.data`.

### .configDirs

Preference-ordered array of base directories to search for configuration files in addition to `.config`.
