where is config.json about aws-iot-device-sdk-js

Hi Mona,

The config.json file is optional, you don't have to use it if you don't want to. In the AWS IoT console, if you select a thing and then click the 'Connect a device' button, you'll be guided through a workflow to create the device's identity and configuration information to connect one of the SDKs. For the Node.js SDK, the configuration information is represented as a config.json file, with a format like this:

{
    "host": <Your endpoint>,
    "port": 8883,
    "clientId": <Your client ID>,
    "thingName": <Your thing name>,
    "caCert": <Your root CA certificate filename>,
    "clientCert": <Your client certificate filename>,
    "privateKey":  <Your private key filename>
}

The console generates this for you, or you can create your own using the above template. You also have the option of not using a config.json file and just specifying the options directly using command line parameters. Let us know if that answers your question, and thanks for using AWS IoT.
