Hi Team,

Inside config/ folder i have my project specific variables (like kibana.yml we have myProjecct.yml) and how do i use those variables inside my isntalled plugins.... I am able to use those variables in server side apps but not in client side plugins.

I would suggest creating an API endpoint that returns those variables and then calling that endpoint from the client side plugin.
