Modules to Import

import environment from '@ohos.environment';

environment.getStorageDataDir

getStorageDataDir():Promise<string>

Obtains the root directory of the storage. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.Environment

  • Return value
Type Description
Promise<string> Promise returned with the root directory of the storage.
  • Example

    environment.getStorageDataDir().then(function(path){
        console.info("getStorageDataDir successfully:"+ path);
    }).catch(function(error){
        console.info("getStorageDataDir failed with error:"+ error);
    });
    

environment.getStorageDataDir

getStorageDataDir(callback:AsyncCallback<string>):void

Obtains the root directory of the storage. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.Environment

  • Parameters
Name Type Mandatory Description
callback AsyncCallback<string> Yes Asynchronous callback used to return the root directory of the storage.
  • Example

    environment.getStorageDataDir(function(error, path){
        // do something
    });
    

environment.getUserDataDir

getUserDataDir():Promise<string>

Obtains the root directory of public files. This API uses a promise to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.Environment

  • Return value
Type Description
Promise<string> Promise returned with the root directory of public files.
  • Example

    environment.getUserDataDir().then(function(path){
        console.info("getUserDataDir successfully:"+ path);
    }).catch(function(error){
        console.info("getUserDataDir failed with error:"+ error);
    });
    

environment.getUserDataDir

getUserDataDir(callback:AsyncCallback<string>): void

Obtains the root directory of public files. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.

System capability: SystemCapability.FileManagement.File.Environment

  • Parameters
Name Type Mandatory Description
callback AsyncCallback<string> Yes Asynchronous callback used to return the root directory of public files.
  • Example

    environment.getUserDataDir(function(error, path){
        // do something
