hey folks! I’ve been playing around with annotations in this repo <https://github.com/lucapette/konfig> I’d love someone experienced in writing annotations to have a look at it. I found a bunch a config libraries but liked none of the api. So I thought this was a fun exercise. I’ll provide more context in the thread

I like how I can annotate config data classes

but I really don’t like I’ve got a global `val konfig`. It’s there because 1) I need to call `configure` 2) definitely don’t want to read configuration every time there’s a `val foo by injectKonfig&lt;Bar&gt;()` call

why not change your API to
```val konfig = Konfig("application.properties")
// then pass konfig to
val serverConfig: ServerConfig by konfig```

thank you for the suggestion! It looks intriguing :slightly_smiling_face: The reason the current api looks that way: I wanted to avoid having to carry around the konfig instance. But maybe it’s good compromise. I’ll play around with this
