Hi, where is file created on MacOSX if no path is specified?

I am searching it after i set() it but i can't actually find it....

thanks

I have the following code.
` var filePath = "Settings.json"

    storage.set(filePath, "{'balance': 1000.21, 'num':100, 'is_vip':true, 'name':'foo'}")
        .then(data => {
            console.log(data);
        })
        .catch(err => {
            console.error(err);
        });

    storage.get(filePath, (err, data) => {
        if (err) {
            console.error(err)
        } else {
            console.log(data);
        }
    });`

The data is written to the Settings.json under C:\Users\thardes2\AppData\Roaming\MyApp, but when I try to get them with the get function I get the following error:

The file in path C:\Users\thardes2\AppData\Roaming\MyApp/Settings.json is not a valid json file

So the format of the path is wrong. As you can see, I am just using the example provided in the README.
Any idea or solution to this?

Thank you :-)

why are filePaths joined to "userData" folder?
is it possible to avoid this and save, or load a file from, for example, the user's Desktop? or a custom-defined path relative to the filesystem root?

return path.join(userData, filePath);

Thanks!

https://github.com/jviotti/electron-json-storage has a few more functionalities, like has, keys and clear.

Both are great projects, though similar!

Perhaps if filePath is an absolute user directory then it would just write to that folder. e.g..

storage.get('/Users/dave/sites/my-site/config.json')

What do you think about this idea?

Hi there. I get this error on macOS.

var data = new Object();
    data.name = name;
    data.address = address;

    storage.set('customers.json', data)
    .then(() => {
      console.log('Data saved successfully!')
    })
    .catch((err) => {
      console.log(err);
    });

It writes to the file but then when I use the get function,

var oldData = storage.get('customers.json')
    .then(d => {
      console.log(d);
    })
    .catch(err => {
      console.log(err);
    });

It gives me that the error.

And here is what the console gives:

Error: The file in path /Users/syncster31/Library/Application Support/ASMS/customers.json is not a valid json file
at /Users/syncster31/Documents/Programming/Electron/my-app/node_modules/electron-storage/dist/index…:37
at tryToString (fs.js:449)
at FSReqWrap.readFileAfterClose [as oncomplete] (fs.js:436)

I noticed when trying to use isPathExists, it requires adding the .json to the path name unlike the set and get methods. I'm assuming that's on purpose but it doesn't seem consistent with the other methods.

Maybe that should be clarified in the README?
