## 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`.
