Correct way to access current application configuration

Question

I added some configurations to myapp/config/environment:

if (environment === \'development\') {
  ENV.APP.AuthURL = \'http://localhost:5000/\';
}

There are a couple modern ways, as of this writing, when trying to access it from your application:

1. import ENV from 'your-application-name/config/environment';
   • your-application-name should be what's in the modulePrefix key of config/environment.js and the name key of package.json
2. Via Ember.getOwner(this).resolveRegistration('config:environment');

Number one assumes you're using Ember CLI and is detailed in the ember docs under Configuring Your App:

Ember CLI ships with support for managing your application's environment. Ember CLI will setup a default environment config file at config/environment. Here, you can define an ENV object for each environment, which are currently limited to three: development, test, and production.

The ENV object contains three important keys:

• EmberENV can be used to define Ember feature flags (see the Feature Flags guide).
• APP can be used to pass flags/options to your application instance.
• environment contains the name of the current environment (development,production or test).

You can access these environment variables in your application code by importing from your-application-name/config/environment.
