About Configuration

Configuration allows you to share values globally throughout your project. These values:

• Are Encrypted
• Are Stored at the project level and
• Don’t expire.

API keys, session keys, and other variables used across various cloud code actions are examples of configuration.

You can change the configuration using the Toolbelt Configuration API or Actions UI.

Code example

An example is to retrieve the secret key and use it to set the value.

async payload => {

    try {
        const secret = await toolbelt
            .config
            .get('secret_key')
        // Make a GET call Check https://github.com/mzabriskie/axios for specifics
        //we use secret_key config as api key to make a request
        const result = await request.get(`https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/popular?api_key=${secret}`)
        //return results of api request to message
        return new Message(result.data.total_results)
    } catch (err) {
        console.log(err);
    }
}

Setting a value

Use the toolbelt.config.set() method to set and store data. The data must be provided as a key and value to save it.

A code snippet to set a value is given below.

async payload => {

        const secret = await toolbelt
            .config
            .set('key','value')
}

Fetching a value

Use the get() method to fetch the key value.

A code snippet to fetch the key value is given below:

async payload => {

    const secret = await toolbelt
        .config
        .get('secret_key')
}

Note

If there are no data available, the get() method returns a null value.

Removing values

Use the delete() method to remove a specific key value.

A code snippet to remove a value.
