# SYNOPSIS

    my App;

    use Moo;
    with MooX::File::ConfigDir;

    1;

    package main;

    my $app = App->new();
    $app->config_identifier('MyProject');

    my @cfgdirs = @{ $app->config_dirs };

    # install support
    my $site_cfg_dir = $app->site_cfg_dir->[0];
    my $vendor_cfg_dir = $app->site_cfg_dir->[0];

# DESCRIPTION

This module is a helper for easily find configuration file locations.
Whether to use this information for find a suitable place for installing
them or looking around for finding any piece of settings, heavily depends
on the requirements.

# ATTRIBUTES

## config\_identifier

Allows to deal with a global unique identifier passed to the functions of
[File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir). Using it encapsulates configuration files from the
other ones (e.g. `/etc/apache2` vs. `/etc`).

`config_identifier` can be initialized by specifying it as parameter
during object construction or via inheriting default builder
(`_build_config_identifier`).

## system\_cfg\_dir

Provides the configuration directory where configuration files of the
desktop applications resides. For details see ["desktop\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#desktop_cfg_dir).

## singleapp\_cfg\_dir

Provides the configuration directory of `$0` if it's installed as
a separate package - either a program bundle (TSM, Oracle DB) or
an independent package combination (e.g. via [PkgSrc](http://www.pkgsrc.org/)
For details see ["singleapp\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#singleapp_cfg_dir).

## vendorapp\_cfg\_dir

Provides the configuration directory of `$0` if it's installed as
a separate package via a vendor installation as e.g. [PkgSrc](http://www.pkgsrc.org/)
or [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/).
For details see ["vendorapp\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#vendorapp_cfg_dir).

## local\_cfg\_dir

Returns the configuration directory for distribution independent, 3rd
party applications. For details see ["local\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#local_cfg_dir).

## locallib\_cfg\_dir

Provides the configuration directory of the Perl5 [local::lib](https://metacpan.org/pod/local::lib) environment
location.  For details see ["locallib\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#locallib_cfg_dir).

## here\_cfg\_dir

Provides the path for the `etc` directory below the current working directory.
For details see ["here\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#here_cfg_dir).

## user\_cfg\_dir

Provides the users home folder using [File::HomeDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::HomeDir).
For details see ["user\_cfg\_dir" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#user_cfg_dir).

## xdg\_config\_home

Returns the user configuration directory for desktop applications.
For details see ["xdg\_config\_home" in File::ConfigDir](https://metacpan.org/pod/File::ConfigDir#xdg_config_home).
