Global variable or pass variable through render()

[combicart]

I'm currently building a website where I inline some SVG icons directly into the template. I'm using https://github.com/oscarotero/inline-svg for inlining the icons.

I've added the code below to my _init.php file to set where all the icons are stored:

$icons = Collection::fromPath('path/to/svg/files');

Inlining an actual SVG icon can be done with the code below. In the example below we are adding an SVG icon with the name 'edit':

echo $icons->get('edit');

So far everything is working as it should. For bigger parts of the template i'm using delayed output and i'm passing the 'icons' variable into the separate template files, like below:

$content = wireRenderFile('partials/homeFacilities', ['icons' => $icons]);

This outputs the icons inside the partials. For setting up details of a page i'm using the ProFields Repeater Matrix module and this is where i'm getting an error. I have to pass the 'icons' variable into the Repeater Matrix template files, however I can't seem to set it correctly so that the template files have access to this variable.

The Repeater Matrix fields is setup like below:

foreach ($value as $item) {
    echo $item->render();
}

Is there a way to pass the 'icons' variable into the Repeater Matrix template files? Or would it e.g. be beter to make this variable accessible globally?

Since the icons seem to be used globally and everywhere, its probably best to go through something global to distribute it.

I'd probably go through $config:

$config->icons = Collection::fromPath('path/to/svg/files');

So you're able to access it everywhere from $config->icons or wire('config')->icons inside a class.

Thanks @Autofahrn, adding it to $config worked perfectly!
