I created my personal configuration file "MyConfig" inside the Config folder like this:

PHP Code:
namespace Config;

use CodeIgniter\Config\BaseConfig;

class MyConfig extends BaseConfig
{
    public $ada_default_lang = 'en';
    public $ada_site_name = 'Site name';
} 

Now I wish I had it available everywhere.

I tried to insert it into BaseController's initController function in several ways, but without success

PHP Code:
$myconfig = config('\Config\\MyConfig');
or
$myconfig = config('MyConfig');
or
$this->myconfig = new \Config\MyConfig;
or
$this->myconfig = config('MyConfig'); 

In my controller I tried to retrieve the variables with $myconfig->ada_site_name or $this->myconfig-> ada_site_name, but it fails, how can I fix?

BaseController.php

PHP Code:
    public function initController(RequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response, LoggerInterface $logger)
    {
        // Do Not Edit This Line
        parent::initController($request, $response, $logger);

        // Preload any models, libraries, etc, here.
        $this->myconfig = config('MyConfig');
    } 

Home.php

PHP Code:
<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

class Home extends BaseController
{
    public function index()
    {
        return $this->myconfig->ada_site_name;
    }
} 

I see "Site name".

I see "Site name".

ok, so it also works with echo $ this->myconfig->ada_site_name, but not in the view

in my view

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">

<head>

    <meta charset="UTF-8">

    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    <title>Document</title>

</head>

<body>

    <p><?= $this->myconfig->ada_site_name ?></p>

</body>

</html>

Undefined property: CodeIgniter\View\View::$myconfig

you need too pass config data to view

example

view('app/view/file',[ 'config' => $this->myconfig])

so can call in view: $config->myconfig->ada_site_name

controller and view are two different thing.

Yes, I know that, but in CI3 it was possible to call them anywhere with $this->config->item ('ada_site_name');

Isn't there a way anymore?

As you see `Undefined property: CodeIgniter\View\View::$myconfig`,
you have to set the variable `CodeIgniter\View\View::$myconfig`.

> Yes, I know that, but in CI3 it was possible to call them anywhere with $this->config->item ('ada_site_name');

It is CI3 way, CI4 is not.

BaseController.php

PHP Code:
    public function initController(RequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response, LoggerInterface $logger)
    {
        // Do Not Edit This Line
        parent::initController($request, $response, $logger);

        // Preload any models, libraries, etc, here.
        $this->myconfig = config('MyConfig');
        $renderer = \Config\Services::renderer();
        $renderer->setVar('myconfig', $this->myconfig);
    } 

View

PHP Code:
<body>
<p><?= esc($myconfig->ada_site_name) ?></p>
</body>

public function initController(RequestInterface $request, ResponseInterface $response, LoggerInterface $logger) { // Do Not Edit This Line parent::initController($request, $response, $logger); // Preload any models, libraries, etc, here. $this->myconfig = config('MyConfig'); $renderer = \Config\Services::renderer(); $renderer->setVar('myconfig', $this->myconfig); }

View

PHP Code:
<body> <p><?= esc($myconfig->ada_site_name) ?></p> </body>

I tried like this:

Code:
config('MyConfig')->side_site_name;

is it valid as I use? This way I can get the values without doing anything else, it also applies to

PHP Code:
servive('request')->getPost() 

and all the other request methods, or

Code:
service('session')->variable;

This way I can get the values wherever I need them without having to do anything else

PHP Code:
config('MyConfig')->side_site_name; 

is valid. I think you can't use config('My Config'). (a space after My)

config('MyConfig') returns the MyConfig object.

Yes, I wrote them wrong Wink

Are the other methods also used correctly instead of instantiating the class on the controller and then passing them to the view?
Put simply, is it a best practice?

You can also do it like this using the config helper.

PHP Code:
<?php
    // add to the top of your html view file.
    $myconfig = config('MyConfig');
?>

<p>
    <!-- then call like this. -->
    <?= $myconfig->ada_site_name ?>
</p>
