Accessing an Ember CLI app's config from within an addon

I'm developing an addon for Ember CLI which requires me to dynamically load files from the app. I should be able to do this with a command like require('my-app/models/load-me'). The only problem is that my-app could be anything, depending on what the developer named their application. If I had access to the my-app/config/environment file, I could just get the modulePrefix from there, but unfortunately, that's also namespaced under my-app.

So does anyone know of another way to access the modulePrefix? I'm assuming there must be a way, because Ember CLI itself needs to get that prefix before it can load any files.

Solution

  • Found the answer here. Basically, you can look it up through the container like so:

    this.container.lookupFactory('config:environment').modulePrefix;
