How do you access system app data folder？

[boan-anbo]

My use case: I want to ship two static external files (JSON) with the app. The user could open a dialog and find the two static files already shown in the picker.

But I dont know which path I should point the picker to. Is there an api to access the default system data folder reserved for the app, or something like that?

Thanks very much!

If it's just a json file you can simply put it next to your html, css, js and read the json file through js fetch api. more help

Import path from @tauri-apps/api and use await path.appDataDir() (or path.appDataDir().then(...)) like so:

import { path } from '@tauri-apps/api';

(async () => {
  const appDataPath = await path.appDataDir();
  console.log(appDataPath); // C:\Users\<current_user>\AppData\Roaming\<package_name>
})();
