This is not needed anymore. Use require('os').homedir()
instead.
Node.js 4
os.homedir()
ponyfill
$ npm install --save os-homedir
const osHomedir = require('os-homedir');
console.log(osHomedir());
//=> '/Users/sindresorhus'
- user-home - Same as this module but caches the result
- home-or-tmp - Get the user home directory with fallback to the system temp directory
