Node.js process.config Property

Last Updated : 28 Apr, 2025

The process.config property is an inbuilt application programming interface of the process module which is used to get the JavaScript representation of the configure options that are used to compile the current node.js code.
Syntax: 
 

process.config


Return Value: This property returns an object containing the configuration in JavaScript representation those are used to compile currently executable node.js. 
Below examples illustrate the use of process.config property in Node.js:
