# Configuration Basics

> Learn how to configure and customize your Latch website through TypeScript configuration files

## Overview

Latch uses TypeScript configuration files located in the `config/` folder to manage all content and settings. This approach provides type safety, better IDE support, and easier maintenance compared to JSON or environment variables.

<Info>All configuration files are in TypeScript format (`.ts`) and located in the `config/` directory</Info>

## Configuration File Structure

All configuration files follow a similar pattern:

```typescript theme={null}
// Example: config/example.ts
export const exampleConfig = {
  // Your configuration here
  property: "value",
  nested: {
    item: "data"
  }
};
```
