Load custom config file? - vinyl - 04-11-2020

I made a custom config file with some general settings I want to access in my controllers.

When I make a new controller and load the config file I can access the variables I set:

Code:
$customvalues = new \Config\Custom();
echo $customvalues->myvalue;

How can I load the config file so that I dont have to initiate a new instance in every class of the controller but like in codeigniter 3 one would do in a constructor function?

You can load it in the base controller. It would be available for all your controllers. You can also get a shared instance with the config() function like described on this page of the user guide: https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/general/configuration.html#accessing-config-files

Or you can load in the Common.php file.
