so I will need access to the Application somehow wherever I want to access environment? I'm writing a standalone class (a client for some API) and that's where I'm needing to read the conf. I suppose I should just make the class or its functions take those values as args and then access those within the routes

Probably good design practice anyways 😛

If I'm in the context of a

fun Route.createUserRoute()

, is there a way to get a handle on the Application? Without that, I'll get a

'val environment: ApplicationEnvironment?' can't be called in this context by implicit receiver. Use the explicit one if necessary

error.

Should I just pass it down from a level higher, i.e. in

fun Application.userRoutes() {
    routing {
        createUserRoute()
    }
}

I also didn't realize

Route

does have

environment

but it's nullable:

open class Route(    val parent: Route?,     val selector: RouteSelector,     val developmentMode: Boolean = false,     val environment: ApplicationEnvironment? = null) : ApplicationCallPipeline

ugh, bad formatting
