[Feature Request] Follow XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux

[sukanka]

background

Currently, yank-note put all user files in ~/yank-note, but it would be better to follow the XDG specification, see XDG Base Directory Specification.

There are few files in ~/yank-note, and they can be easily classified.

➜  yank-note ls     
config.json  extensions  histories  pandoc-reference.docx  plugins  themes

config.json should go to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/yank-note (defaults to $HOME/.config/yank-note when the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is undefined.)

And extensions pandoc-reference.docx plugins themes should go to $XDG_DATA_HOME/yank-note, which defaults
to $HOME/.local/share/yank-note,

Finally, histories should go to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/yank-note, which defaults to $HOME/.cache/yank-note.

suggested solution

Only the following lines need to be changed. You can follow https://github.com/rivy/js.xdg-portable,

yn/src/main/constant.ts

Lines 11 to 20 in 4cfd1ac

	export const HOME_DIR = homedir
	export const USER_DIR = path.resolve((yargs.argv['data-dir'] as any) || path.join(homedir, APP_NAME))
	export const CONFIG_FILE = path.join(USER_DIR, 'config.json')
	export const STATIC_DIR = path.join(__dirname, '../renderer')
	export const HELP_DIR = path.join(__dirname, '../../help')
	export const ASSETS_DIR = path.join(__dirname, 'assets')
	export const HISTORY_DIR = path.join(USER_DIR, './histories')
	export const USER_PLUGIN_DIR = path.join(USER_DIR, './plugins')
	export const USER_THEME_DIR = path.join(USER_DIR, './themes')
