This code snippet is a configuration object written in JavaScript, specifically tailored for a web application named "ShipFast". It organizes essential settings for various features and integrations, such as Stripe for payments, AWS for storage, and Mailgun for email operations.

1. Import Statement

import themes from "daisyui/src/theming/themes";

Purpose: This line imports a themes object from the DaisyUI theme library, which is likely employed to manage styling within the application.

2. Configuration Object Structure

The config object encapsulates all the necessary configurations for the application.

2.1 Basic Application Setup

const config = {
  appName: "ShipFast",
  appDescription: "The NextJS boilerplate with all you need to build your SaaS, AI tool, or any other web app.",
  domainName: "shipfa.st",

appName: Specifies the name of the application.
