nvim.hs location for Mac? #37

Closed gibiansky closed 9 years ago

gibiansky commented 9 years ago

From the docs:

Create a file called nvim.hs in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nvim (usually ~/.config/nvim with the following content:

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME does not necessarily exist on OS X. What's the right place to put nvim.hs on Mac? How can we customize the location of this file?

Based on the fact that stack.yaml mentions xdg-basedir, my guess is that nvim-hs is using getUserConfigDir from `System.Environment.XDG.BaseDir

$ stack exec ghci
GHCi, version 7.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Prelude> import System.Environment.XDG.BaseDir
Prelude System.Environment.XDG.BaseDir> getUserConfigDir "nvim"
"/Users/silver/.config/nvim"

So on my system at least (and I guess on OSX in general?) it is ~/.config/nvim/nvim.hs.

I'm not yet sure this is true but this could be in the docs.

Wait, I guess it is in the docs. Hmm. I just assumed it only applied on systems where $XDG* was actually defied. Oops.

It should probably be reflected in the docs, that ~/.config/nvim is the default location if the environment variable is not set. A link to http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html doesn't hurt either.
