## Introduction
Consuming application configuration is a common task when writing applications. Frequently, configuration stores are used to manage this configuration data. A configuration item is often dynamic in nature and tightly coupled to the needs of the application that consumes it.
Consuming application configuration is a common task when writing applications and frequently configuration stores are used to manage this configuration data. A configuration item is often dynamic in nature and is tightly coupled to the needs of the application that consumes it. For example, common uses for application configuration include names of secrets, different identifiers, partition or consumer IDs, names of databases to connect to etc. These configuration items are typically stored as key/value items in a state store or database. Application configuration can be changed by either developers or operators at runtime and the developer needs to be notified of these changes in order to take the required action and load the new configuration. Also configuration data is typically read only from the application API perspective, with updates to the configuration store made through operator tooling. Dapr's configuration API allows developers to consume configuration items that are returned as read only key/value pairs and subscribe to changes whenever a configuration item changes.
For example, application configuration can include:
- Names of secrets
- Different identifiers
- Partition or consumer IDs
- Names of databases to connect to, etc
Usually, configuration items are stored as key/value items in a state store or database. Developers or operators can change application configuration at runtime in the configuration store. Once changes are made, a service is notified to load the new configuration.
Configuration data is read-only from the application API perspective, with updates to the configuration store made through operator tooling. With Dapr's configuration API, you can:
- Consume configuration items that are returned as read-only key/value pairs
- Subscribe to changes whenever a configuration item changes
<img src="/images/configuration-api-overview.png" width=900>
It is worth noting that this configuration API should not be confused with the [Dapr sidecar and control plane configuration]({{<ref "configuration-overview">}}) which is used to set policies and settings on instances of Dapr sidecars or the installed Dapr control plane.

## Try out configuration
### Quickstart
Want to put the Dapr configuration API to the test? Walk through the following quickstart to see the configuration API in action:
| Quickstart | Description |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| [Configuration quickstart]({{< ref configuration-quickstart.md >}}) | Get configuration items or subscribe to configuration changes using the configuration API. |
### Start using the configuration API directly in your app
Want to skip the quickstarts? Not a problem. You can try out the configuration building block directly in your application to read and manage configuration data. After [Dapr is installed]({{< ref "getting-started/_index.md" >}}), you can begin using the configuration API starting with [the configuration how-to guide]({{< ref howto-manage-configuration.md >}}).

description: Get started with Dapr's Configuration building block
---
Let's take a look at Dapr's [Configuration building block]({{< ref configuration-api-overview.md >}}). A configuration item is often dynamic in nature and tightly coupled to the needs of the application that consumes it. Configuration items are key/value pairs containing configuration data, such as:
- App ids
- Partition keys
- Database names, etc
In this quickstart, you'll run an `order-processor` microservice that utilizes the Configuration API. The service:
1. Gets configuration items from the configuration store.
1. Subscribes for configuration updates.

### Pre-requisites
For this example, you will need:
- [Dapr CLI and initialized environment](https://docs.dapr.io/getting-started).
- [Python 3.7+ installed](https://www.python.org/downloads/).
<!-- IGNORE_LINKS -->
- [Docker Desktop](https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop)
<!-- END_IGNORE -->
### Step 1: Set up the environment
Clone the [sample provided in the Quickstarts repo](https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts/tree/master/configuration).
```bash
git clone https://github.com/dapr/quickstarts.git
```
Once cloned, open a new terminal and run the following command to set values for configuration items `orderId1` and `orderId2`.
```bash
docker exec dapr_redis redis-cli MSET orderId1 "101" orderId2 "102"
```
### Step 2: Run the `order-processor` service
From the root of the Quickstarts clone directory, navigate to the `order-processor` directory.
```bash
cd ./configuration/python/sdk/order-processor
```
Install the dependencies:
```bash
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```
Run the `order-processor` service alongside a Dapr sidecar.
```bash
dapr run --app-id order-processor --resources-path ../../../components/ --app-port 6001 -- python3 app.py
```
> **Note**: Since Python3.exe is not defined in Windows, you may need to use `python app.py` instead of `python3 app.py`.
The expected output:
```
== APP == Configuration for orderId1 : value: "101"
== APP ==
== APP == Configuration for orderId2 : value: "102"
== APP ==
== APP == App unsubscribed from config changes
```
### (Optional) Step 3: Update configuration item values
Once the app has unsubscribed, try updating the configuration item values. Change the `orderId1` and `orderId2` values using the following command:
```bash
docker exec dapr_redis redis-cli MSET orderId1 "103" orderId2 "104"
```
Run the `order-processor` service again:
```bash
dapr run --app-id order-processor --resources-path ../../../components/ --app-port 6001 -- python3 app.py
```
> **Note**: Since Python3.exe is not defined in Windows, you may need to use `python app.py` instead of `python3 app.py`.
The app will return the updated configuration values:
```
== APP == Configuration for orderId1 : value: "103"
== APP ==
== APP == Configuration for orderId2 : value: "104"
== APP ==
```
### The `order-processor` service
The `order-processor` service includes code for:
- Getting the configuration items from the config store
- Subscribing to configuration updates (which you made in the CLI earlier)
- Unsubscribing from configuration updates and exiting the app after 20 seconds of inactivity.
Get configuration items:
```python
# Get config items from the config store
for config_item in CONFIGURATION_ITEMS:
config = client.get_configuration(store_name=DAPR_CONFIGURATION_STORE, keys=[config_item], config_metadata={})
print(f"Configuration for {config_item} : {config.items[config_item]}", flush=True)
```
Subscribe to configuration updates:
```python
# Subscribe for configuration changes
configuration = await client.subscribe_configuration(DAPR_CONFIGURATION_STORE, CONFIGURATION_ITEMS)
```
Unsubscribe from configuration updates and exit the application:
```python
# Unsubscribe from configuration updates
unsubscribed = True
for config_item in CONFIGURATION_ITEMS:
unsub_item = client.unsubscribe_configuration(DAPR_CONFIGURATION_STORE, config_item)
#...
if unsubscribed == True:
print("App unsubscribed from config changes", flush=True)
```

//...
const config = await client.configuration.get(DAPR_CONFIGURATION_STORE, CONFIGURATION_ITEMS);
Object.keys(config.items).forEach((key) => {
console.log("Configuration for " + key + ":", JSON.stringify(config.items[key]));
});
```
Subscribe to configuration updates:
```javascript
// Subscribe to config updates
try {
const stream = await client.configuration.subscribeWithKeys(
DAPR_CONFIGURATION_STORE,
CONFIGURATION_ITEMS,
(config) => {
console.log("Configuration update", JSON.stringify(config.items));
}
);
```
Unsubscribe from configuration updates and exit the application:
```javascript
// Unsubscribe to config updates and exit app after 20 seconds
setTimeout(() => {
stream.stop();
console.log("App unsubscribed to config changes");
process.exit(0);
},
