How to get base directory of hexo from plugin

[dimaslanjaka]

Basically base directory is process.cwd() when called by CLI. but, how determine the base directory when hexo called by api new Hexo ?

[stevenjoezhang]

Use hexo.base_dir:

hexo/lib/hexo/index.js

Line 100 in 7edbf25

this.base_dir = base + sep;

[dimaslanjaka]

so, it can be called like hexo.base_dir?

example:

function getTempFolder(hexo: import('hexo')) {
  return hexo.base_dir + '/tmp';
}

thats right?

Yes, base_dir is a property of global hexo object.
