In this chapter, you’ll learn about passing options to your module from the Medusa application’s configurations and using them in the module’s resources.

## What are Module Options?

A module can receive options to customize or configure its functionality.

For example, if you’re creating a module that integrates a third-party service, you’ll want to receive the integration credentials in the options rather than adding them directly in your code.

## How to Pass Options to a Module?

To pass options to a module, add an `options` property to the module’s configuration in `medusa-config.js`.

For example:

```js title="medusa-config.js"
const modules = {
  helloModuleService: {
    resolve: "./dist/modules/hello",
    options: {
      capitalize: true,
    },
  },
  // ...
}
```

The `options` property’s value is an object. You can pass any properties you want.

## Access Module Options in Main Service

The module’s main service receives the module options as a second parameter.

For example:

```ts title="src/modules/hello/service.ts" highlights={[["15"], ["21"], ["25"], ["26"], ["27"]]}
// ...

// recommended to define type in another file
type HelloModuleOptions = {
  capitalize?: boolean
}

class HelloModuleService extends ModulesSdkUtils
  .abstractModuleServiceFactory<
  // ...
  >(
  // ...
  ) {
    // ...
    protected options_: HelloModuleOptions
    
    constructor(
      {
        // ...
      }: InjectedDependencies,
      protected readonly moduleOptions: HelloModuleOptions
    ) {
      //...
      
      this.options_ = moduleOptions || {
        capitalize: false,
      }
    }
  }
```

## Access Module Options in Loader

The object that a module’s loaders receive as a parameter has an `options` property holding the module's options.

For example:

```ts title="src/modules/hello/loaders/hello-world.ts" highlights={[["11"], ["16"]]}
import {
  LoaderOptions,
} from "@medusajs/modules-sdk"

// recommended to define type in another file
type HelloModuleOptions = {
  capitalize?: boolean
}

export default function helloWorldLoader({
  options,
}: LoaderOptions<HelloModuleOptions>) {
  
  console.log(
    "[HELLO MODULE] Just started the Medusa application!",
    options
  )
}
```
