# Dapr Configuration API
In this quickstart, you'll create a microservice which makes use of Dapr's Configuration API. Configuration items are key/value pairs containing configuration data such as app ids, partition keys, database names etc. The service gets configuration items from the configuration store and subscribes for configuration updates.
Visit [this](https://docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/configuration/) link for more information about Dapr and Configuration API.
This quickstart includes one service:
- Node service `order-processor`
## Add configuration items to the config store
### Prerequisite
- Locally running redis container - a redis container named `dapr_redis` is automatically created when you run `dapr init`
- Open a new terminal and set values for config items `orderId1` and `orderId2` by using the command below
<!-- STEP
name: Add configuration items
expected_stdout_lines:
- 'OK'
-->
```bash
docker exec dapr_redis redis-cli MSET orderId1 "101" orderId2 "102"
```
<!-- END_STEP -->
## Run order-processor
1. Navigate to folder and install dependencies:
<!-- STEP
name: Install Node dependencies
-->
```bash
cd ./order-processor
npm install
```
<!-- END_STEP -->
1. Run the Node app with Dapr:
<!-- STEP
name: Run order-processor service
expected_stdout_lines:
- '== APP == Configuration for orderId2: {"key":"orderId2","value":'
- '== APP == App unsubscribed to config changes'
- "Exited App successfully"
expected_stderr_lines:
output_match_mode: substring
match_order: none
sleep: 120
-->
```bash
cd ./order-processor
dapr run --app-id order-processor --resources-path ../../../components/ --app-protocol grpc --dapr-grpc-port 3500 -- node index.js
```
<!-- END_STEP -->
## (Optional) Update value of config items
1. Keep the `order-processor` app running and open a separate terminal
2. Change the values of `orderId1` and `orderId2` using the command below
3. `order-processor` app gets the updated values of config items
<!-- STEP
name: Update config items
-->
```bash
docker exec dapr_redis redis-cli MSET orderId1 "103" orderId2 "104"
```
<!--END_STEP -->
