CI4 lacks seems to lack a couple of super convenient CI3 features.

Re (1), is this what you are looking for? ... you can have method scope

Code:

$app = config('App');
$app->brian = 'whatever you want';

Or, if you want to access it everywhere, give it object scope,

Code:

$this->app = config('App');
$this->app->brian = 'whatever you want';

You can access anything from application/Config/App (or whichever config file you are interested in), and you can even create config items on the fly. The pre-existing ones are supposed to be static, so instance-agnostic. If you wanted the same for yours, then add it to App similarly.


Re (2), is this what you are looking for? https://bcit-ci.github.io/CodeIgniter4/o...-reference

... specifically, the setVar and setData methods of any view or view parser.
