# Description Currently there is a bit of chaos regarding construction of history file paths. Various pieces of code across a number of crates reimplement the same/similar logic: - There is `get_history_path`, but it requires a directory parameter (it really just joins it with a file name). - Some places use a const for the directory parameter, others use a string literal - in all cases the value seems to be `"nushell"`. - Some places assume the `"nushell"` value, other plumb it down from close to the top of the call stack. - Some places use a constant for history file names while others assume it. This PR tries to make it so that the history/config path format is defined in a single places and so dependencies on it are easier to follow: - It removes `get_history_path` and adds a `file_path` method to `HistoryConfig` instead (an extra motivation being, this is a convenient place that can be used from all creates that need a history file path) - Adds a `nu_config_dir` function that returns the nushell configuration directory. - Updates existing code to rely on the above, effectively removing duplicate uses of `"nushell"` and `NUSHELL_FOLDER` and assumptions about file names associated with different history formats # User-Facing Changes None
Nushell core libraries and plugins
These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.
Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:
- Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
- Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.
Plugins are likewise also split into two types:
- Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
- Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
