config.get

Returns the currently being used config. If the daemon is off, it returns the stored config.

ipfs.config.get([key])

key is the key of the value that should be fetched from the config file. If no key is passed, then the whole config should be returned. key should be of type String.

Returns

Type Description
Promise<Object> An object containing the configuration of the IPFS node

Example:

const config = await ipfs.config.get()
console.log(config)

A great source of examples can be found in the tests for this API.

config.set

Adds or replaces a config value.

ipfs.config.set(key, value)

key is the key value that will be added or replaced (in case of the value already). key should be of type String.

value value to be set.

Returns

Type Description
Promise<void> If action is successfully completed. Otherwise an error will be thrown

Note that this operation will not spark the restart of any service, i.e: if a config.replace changes the multiaddrs of the Swarm, Swarm will have to be restarted manually for the changes to take difference.

Example:

await ipfs.config.set('Discovery.MDNS.Enabled', false)
// MDNS Discovery was set to false

A great source of examples can be found in the tests for this API.

config.replace

Adds or replaces a config file.

ipfs.config.replace(config)

config is a JSON object that contains the new config.

Returns

Type Description
Promise<void> If action is successfully completed. Otherwise an error will be thrown

Note that this operation will not spark the restart of any service, i.e: if a config.replace changes the multiaddrs of the Swarm, Swarm will have to be restarted manually for the changes to take difference.

Example:

await ipfs.config.replace(newConfig)
// config has been replaced

A great source of examples can be found in the tests for this API.

Example:

const profiles = await ipfs.config.profiles.list()
profiles.forEach(profile => {
  console.info(profile.name, profile.description)
})

A great source of examples can be found in the tests for this API.
