Why didn't you use the section that is already there?

```auto
    // Context Storage
    // The following property can be used to enable context storage. The configuration
    // provided here will enable file-based context that flushes to disk every 30 seconds.
    // Refer to the documentation for further options: https://nodered.org/docs/api/context/
    //
    //contextStorage: {
    // default: {
    // module:"localfilesystem"
    // },
    //},

```
