How do you access the $this bound data of the controller in the view? Ci3 is OK, ci4 doesn't seem to work

[jinmarcus]

such as ci3's get_instance()

I can use the global $this anywhere in the controller, model, view in CI3, but ci4, I can't use the global $this in the view, the model, which worries me

[jaynarayan89]

get_instance is not available because there is no "super object" aka singleton is present in ci4. In my humble opinion this is not a bug and you should take your question to the ci4 forum.

The feedback from the forum is a bit slow

THis was a design decision early in the CI4 development. This is a feature, not a bug.
If you wish to argue for it, the forum is the proper place, slow or not.
