如何在CodeIgniter中自动实例化库

Question

I'm using a really basic library in Codeigniter. In order to use it I need to pass in a number of config parameters using a config function. My library currently requires me to instantiate it before I can call the config, i.e., I have to use it as below:

$this->load->library('Library');
$instance = new Library();
$instance->config($configparams);

I'd like to use it like standard CodeIgniter libraries:

$this->load->library('Library');
$this->library->config($configparams);

What do I need to add to the library in order to have it auto-instantiate? The code is as below:

class Library {

     function config($configparams){
       ...
     }
}

This is working now. I swear it wasn't working before I posted on SO! Thanks for posts.

According to the docs, you should just call it. So:

$this->load->library('Library');
$this->library->config($configparams);

But why not just pass $configparams to the constructor:

$this->load->library('Library', $configparams);
