$ ionic config set

Set config values

Synopsis

$ ionic config set [<property>] [<value>]

Details

By default, this command sets JSON properties in your project’s ionic.config.json file.

For --global config, the CLI sets properties in the global CLI config file (~/.ionic/config.json).

For nested properties, separate nest levels with dots. For example, the property name user.email will look in the user object (a root-level field in the global CLI config file) for the email field.

ionic config set will attempt to coerce value into a suitable JSON type. If it is JSON-parsable, such as true or [], it takes the parsed result. Otherwise, the value is interpreted as a string. For stricter input, use --json, which will error with non-JSON values.

By default, if property exists and is an object or an array, the value is not overwritten. To disable this check and always overwrite the property, use --force.

Input Description
property The property name you wish to set
value The new value of the given property
Option Description
--global, -g Use global CLI config
--json Always interpret value as JSON
--force Always overwrite existing values
