Hi all

I am using akka http and have a question about [configuration?](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/configuration.html)

When I want to use default configuration, do I have add the `application.conf` file to my project with the content, describe on [https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/configuration.html#configuration](https://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/configuration.html#configuration)?

Thanks

Hi @bifunctor

Nope, the default configurations are loaded by default. You can use `application.conf` to override those dependencies though. You can read more about the configs here [https://github.com/lightbend/config#standard-behavior](https://github.com/lightbend/config#standard-behavior)
