> Get the real path of the system temp directory
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[The `os.tmpdir()` built-in doesn't return the real path.](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/11422) That can cause problems when the returned path is a symlink, which is the case on macOS. Use this module to get the resolved path.

|
## Install
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ npm install --save temp-dir
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```js
|
||
|
|
const tempDir = require('temp-dir');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(tempDir);
|
||
|
|
//=> '/private/var/folders/3x/jf5977fn79jbglr7rk0tq4d00000gn/T'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
console.log(require('os').tmpdir());
|
||
|
|
//=> '/var/folders/3x/jf5977fn79jbglr7rk0tq4d00000gn/T' // <= Symlink
|
||
|
|
```
