path_provider #

A Flutter plugin for finding commonly used locations on the filesystem. Supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Not all methods are supported on all platforms.

Usage #

To use this plugin, add path_provider as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file.

Example #

Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();
String tempPath = tempDir.path;

Directory appDocDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();
String appDocPath = appDocDir.path;

Please see the example app of this plugin for a full example.

Usage in tests #

path_provider now uses a PlatformInterface, meaning that not all platforms share the a single PlatformChannel-based implementation. With that change, tests should be updated to mock PathProviderPlatform rather than PlatformChannel.

See this path_provider test for an example.
