API Setup Tutorial

Step 1: Configuration Setup

Initialize your API configuration using TailwindCSS and JS modules

1. Import Configuration

The first step is to import the configuration module into your JavaScript file. Configuration files are located at /internet/api/config.js


import { config } from '/internet/api/config.js';

// Access configuration values
console.log('API URL:', config.API_URL);
console.log('Timeout:', config.timeout, 'ms');

2. Configuration Best Practices

Environment Variables

Store sensitive data like API keys in environment variables rather than hardcoding them. Create .env files for configuration.

Consistent Formatting

Follow naming conventions across all configuration files. Use all-uppercase names with underscores for constants.

3. Configuration Example

Your configuration object will contain all the necessary connection information. The values can be accessed from the imported module.


// File: internet/api/config.js
export const config = {
  API_URL: 'https://api.example.com',
  API_KEY: 'your_api_key_here',
  timeout: 5000,
  retryCount: 3,
  logging: {
    level: 'info',
    enabled: true
  },
  database: {
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 5432,
    username: 'db_user',
    password: 'db_password',
    name: 'db_name'
  }
};

What's Next?

Now that your configuration is set up, you're ready to start making API calls. The next step will guide you through authentication and API endpoint usage.
