## API
The properties `.data`, `.config`, `.cache`, `.runtime` will return `null` in the uncommon case that both the XDG environment variable is not set and the users home directory can't be found. You need to handle this case. A common solution is to [fall back to a temp directory](https://github.com/yeoman/configstore/blob/b82690fc401318ad18dcd7d151a0003a4898a314/index.js#L15).
### .data
Directory for user specific data files.
### .config
Directory for user specific configuration files.
### .cache
Directory for user specific non-essential data files.
### .runtime
Directory for user-specific non-essential runtime files and other file objects (such as sockets, named pipes, etc).
### .dataDirs
Preference-ordered array of base directories to search for data files in addition to `.data`.
### .configDirs
Preference-ordered array of base directories to search for configuration files in addition to `.config`.
