resourceDir

resourceDir(): Promise<string>

Defined in: path.ts:495

Returns the path to the application’s resource directory. To resolve a resource path, see resolveResource.

Although we provide the exact path where this function resolves to, this is not a contract and things might change in the future

  • Windows: Resolves to the directory that contains the main executable.
  • Linux: When running in an AppImage, the APPDIR variable will be set to the mounted location of the app, and the resource dir will be ${APPDIR}/usr/lib/${exe_name}. If not running in an AppImage, the path is /usr/lib/${exe_name}. When running the app from src-tauri/target/(debug|release)/, the path is ${exe_dir}/../lib/${exe_name}.
  • macOS: Resolves to ${exe_dir}/../Resources (inside .app).
  • iOS: Resolves to ${exe_dir}/assets.
  • Android: Currently the resources are stored in the APK as assets so it’s not a normal file system path, we return a special URI prefix asset://localhost/ here that can be used with the file system plugin,

Promise<string>

import { resourceDir } from '@tauri-apps/api/path';
const resourceDirPath = await resourceDir();
