I have made a config.json file inside the static/hello-world directory in forge CustomUI.

```auto
{
    "IQP_Server" : "https://9.109.123.240:8443/ignitePlatformURL"
}

```

Can someone please help me with how can i access the `IQP_Server` variable inside the `App.js` file? Thanks in advance.

Hi @AnjaliChaudhary,

In your `App.js` try importing the `config.json` file and accessing it from there. Can something like this address your use case?

```auto
import configData from './config.json';
...
console.log(`IQP_Server Value: ${configData.IQP_Server}`);

```

Hope this helps.

Ian
