I am available for full-time remote positions.\n\n# Example\n\n```js\nimport globalCacheDir from 'global-cache-dir'\n\nconst cacheDir = await globalCacheDir('myapp')\n// Depending on the OS:\n//  =\u003e '/Users/ehmicky/Library/Caches/myapp'\n//  =\u003e '/home/ehmicky/.cache/myapp'\n//  =\u003e 'C:\\Users\\ehmicky\\AppData\\Local\\myapp\\Cache'\n```\n\n# Install\n\n```bash\nnpm install global-cache-dir\n```\n\nThis package works in Node.js \u003e=18.18.0.\n\nThis is an ES module. It must be loaded using\n[an `import` or `import()` statement](https://gist.github.com/sindresorhus/a39789f98801d908bbc7ff3ecc99d99c),\nnot `require()`. If TypeScript is used, it must be configured to\n[output ES modules](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html),\nnot CommonJS.\n\n# Usage\n\n## globalCacheDir(name)\n\n`name`: `string`\\\n_Returns_: `Promise\u003cstring\u003e`\n\n`name` must only use digits, letters or dashes.\n\n# See also\n\n- [`node-cachedir`](https://github.com/LinusU/node-cachedir): underlying logic\n  for this module\n- [`find-cache-dir`](https://github.com/avajs/find-cache-dir): get the local\n  cache directory\n\n# Support\n\nFor any question, _don't hesitate_ to [submit an issue on GitHub](../../issues).\n\nEveryone is welcome regardless of personal background.
