path_provider #

A Flutter plugin for finding commonly used locations on the filesystem. Supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows. Not all methods are supported on all platforms.

Example #

final Directory tempDir = await getTemporaryDirectory();

final Directory appDocumentsDir = await getApplicationDocumentsDirectory();

final Directory? downloadsDir = await getDownloadsDirectory();

Supported platforms and paths #

Directories support by platform:

Testing #

path_provider now uses a PlatformInterface, meaning that not all platforms share a single PlatformChannel-based implementation. With that change, tests should be updated to mock PathProviderPlatform rather than PlatformChannel.

See this path_provider test for an example.
