Best Practices: accessing app config from addon code

Ember CLI
16

Now that lookupFactory is no longer available how can I lookup ‘config:environment’ in an instance initializer written in an addon? I’m running into the same error as @steven_ferguson

Failed to create an instance of 'config:environment'. Most likely an improperly defined class or an invalid module export

My code:

function initialize(appInstance) {
    var environment = appInstance.lookup('config:environment').get('environment');

The ember-get-config addon seems to make the config available by looking through require.js’s namespace, something I’m not comfortable with. But @davewasmer’s point on registering it as a singleton by the CLI sounds like something that’s worth considering.

@rwjblue @stefan any pointers?
