Base_url as a default value in a custom Config file - sevmusic - 10-15-2021
PHP Code:
namespace App\Config;
use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;
class MyConfig extends BaseConfig
{
public $myTargetLink = base_url() . '/path/to/link';
}
Hello.
I am wondering how I can access the base_url in a Config file.
Doing this give me an error "Constant expression contains invalid operations"
Is getting the base_url() possible as a default value in a Config file?
Thanks for your time.

I don't know why you have this error. A workaround would be to define your config like this:
PHP Code:
class MyConfig extends BaseConfig
{
public $myTargetLink = '/path/to/link';
}
Then when you need it use base_url() like this:
PHP Code:
$myConfig = config('MyConfig');
echo base_url($myConfig->myTargetLink);

You can't use dynamic value like `base_url()` in defining properties.
PHP Code:
class MyConfig extends BaseConfig
{
public $myTargetLink;
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->myTargetLink = base_url() . '/path/to/link';
}
}

@sevmusic,
>>> Is getting the base_url() possible as a default value in a Config file?
Perhaps consider defining the CONST in index.php and it will be available throughout the application:
file: /index.php
PHP Code:
# DYNAMIC PATH ===================================================
# dynamic BaseUrl - https://forum.codeigniter.com/thread-74649.html
if( TRUE || DEFINED('AUTOMATIC_URL_DETECTION') ) :
$url = (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && !empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])
&&
('on' == $_SERVER['HTTPS'])
? "https://"
: "http://") .$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']
;
$url .= str_replace
(
basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']),
'',
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
);
endif;
defined('BASE_URL') ?: define('BASE_URL', $url); # app/Paths.php, etc
# DYNAMIC PATH ===================================================
file: app/Config/App.php
PHP Code:
public $baseURL = BASE_URL; // http://localhost:8080/';

Good suggestions here! I will also add the Registrars are a great way to add dynamic content to Config files.
