# gopath

gopath returns the current user's `GOPATH`, compatible with Go 1.8+

That is, it returns the value of the environment variable `GOPATH`,

and if that is not set, the directory named `go` in the user's home

directory.

What "home directory" means is platform-specific. gopath uses

[mitchellh/go-homedir](https://github.com/mitchellh/go-homedir) to

find out what the user's home directory is.

## Example

```go

package main

import (

	"fmt"

	"log"

	"github.com/thomasheller/gopath"

)

func main() {

	p, err := gopath.Get()

	if err != nil {

		log.Fatalf("Error getting GOPATH: %v", err)

	}

	fmt.Println(p)

	// Output:

	// /home/user/go (or whatever GOPATH is set)

}

```

For convenience, gopath also provides a function to join the `GOPATH`

with one or more path elements, like `filepath.Join`:

```go

package main

import (

	"fmt"

	"log"

	"github.com/thomasheller/gopath"

)

func main() {

	p, err := gopath.Join("src/github.com/thomasheller/gopath")

	if err != nil {

		log.Fatalf("Error getting GOPATH: %v", err)

	}

	fmt.Println(p)

	// Output:

	// /home/user/go/src/github.com/thomasheller/gopath (or whatever GOPATH is set)

}

```
