getConfig

Look up a configuration value by key, with an optional default. The config object is whatever was passed to the skill’s constructor (typed as SkillConfig, a string-keyed record). Values are returned as-is; the caller provides the type argument for casting.

Parameters

key

stringRequired

The configuration key to look up.

defaultValue

T | undefined

Value to return when the key is not present. The result is cast to T.

Returns

T — the configured value cast to the generic type, or the default value.

Example

1 import { SkillBase } from '@signalwire/sdk';
2 
3 export class WeatherSkill extends SkillBase {
4   static SKILL_NAME = 'weather';
5   static SKILL_DESCRIPTION = 'Fetches current weather for a city.';
6 
7   async setup(): Promise<boolean> {
8     const apiKey = this.getConfig<string>('api_key');
9     const units = this.getConfig<'metric' | 'imperial'>('units', 'metric');
10     if (!apiKey) return false;
11     this.logger.info(`Weather skill configured in ${units} units`);
12     return true;
13   }
14 }
