In a self-packaged ComfyUI project container, if I want to create a workflow endpoint, how can I access the config object from the ComfyUI API?

[Alndaly]

Hi bro, i’m facing a difficulty—could you take a look and help me out?

In your project, since it's already a Node.js-based project, it's possible to directly import the object from config.js, just like in the example workflow.

import { z } from "zod";
import { ComfyPrompt, Workflow } from "../../src/types";
import config from "../../src/config";

But what if it's a self-packaged ComfyUI container?

The workflows are actually loaded at runtime via eval, within the context of src/workflows, so you can access the config object at

import config from "../config";

Here's an example

Here's the implementation

But what about self-built container? For example, this is my project structure.

And this is my Dockerfile

Yes, even in a self built container, the workflow is evaluated at src/workflows.

Thanks for your help. I found the problem in my code — it was an issue with the workflow folder path.
