I have a file called Helpers.cs in App_Code which as a set of helper methods used in various views. I'd like to be able to access some of the global configuration keys, so I found that I had to do something like this:

namespace OurSite;

using Umbraco.Cms.Core.Configuration.Models;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Options;

public class Helpers {

    private GlobalSettings _globalSettings;

    public Helpers(IOptions<GlobalSettings> globalSettings) {
        _globalSettings = globalSettings.Value;
    }

    public static string GetConfigValue() {
        return _globalSettings.OurSite.ConfigurationData;
    }
}

If I wasn't using the configuration stuff (e.g. if the method just returned a literal string) I could use it like this in a view:

@using OurSite;
@{
    var config = Helpers.GetConfigValue();
}

But I'm getting an error (I assume) because of the static keyword when adding the configuration bits...

(The error is error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Helpers._globalSettings')

How can I make this work?

Thanks, /Chriztian
