I use support/commands.js from cypress to set the functions for the requests to the API or in order to login on the test files.

On my commands.js I have this function.

Cypress.Commands.add("login", () => {
  cy.request({
    method: "POST",
    form: true,
    url: "baseUrl/api/v1/auth/login",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
    },
    body: {
      email: "testUserEmail",
      password: "testUserPassword",
    },
  })
    .its("body.data")
    .should("exist")
    .then((session_token) => {
      cy.setLocalStorage("default_auth_token", session_token);
      cy.setCookie("rememberMe", "false");
      token = session_token;
    });
});

I want to access the variables on my cypress.json in order to set baseUrl, user and password there and not all spread on my commands.js.

You can us Cypress.config() to access any values from your cypress.json file. Assuming your cypress.json file looks like this:

{
    "baseUrl": "https://example.com/api/v1/auth/login",
    "username": "admin",
    "password": "password"
}

You can Use these values in your support/commands.js file as:

Cypress.config('baseUrl')
Cypress.config('username')
Cypress.config('password')
