Need to use codeception parameters in test code

Question

I have environment configuration in my acceptance.suite.yml config file. One of the parameters is language. I need to know this parameter value in the actual test code to be able to drive test steps correctly.

acceptance.suite.yml config content:

 class_name: WebGuy
modules:
    enabled:
        - WebDriver
        - WebHelper
        - Db
    config:
        WebDriver:
            browser: firefox
env:
    eng:
        modules:
            config:
                WebDriver:
                   url: 'localhost'
                   lang: en
   esp:
        modules:
            config:
                WebDriver:
                    url: 'localhost'
                    lang: es

How can I get the language parameter value?

I had the same problem and found help on Codeception forums. Here's how you can access config content as mentioned by user Dan.

$config = \Codeception\Configuration::config();
$apiSettings = \Codeception\Configuration::suiteSettings('api', $config);
