Service Configuration

To locate your configuration file, see Configuring Puter.

Accessing Service Configuration

Service configuration appears under the "services" property in the configuration file for Puter. If Puter's configuration had no other values except for a service config with one key, it might look like this:

{
    "services": {
        "my-service": {
            "somekey": "some value"
        }
    }
}

Services have their configuration object assigned to this.config.

class MyService extends BaseService {
    async _init () {
        // You can access configuration for a service like this
        this.log.info('value of my key is: ' + this.config.somekey);
    }
}

Accessing Global Configuration

Services can access global configuration. This can be useful for knowing how Puter itself is configured, but using this global config object for service configuration is discouraged as it could create conflicts between services.

class MyService extends BaseService {
    async _init () {
        // You can access configuration for a service like this
        this.log.info('Puter is hosted on: ' + this.global_config.domain);
    }
}
