## Overview
|

|
||||
An environment is an object which contains a [`QWeb` instance](qweb_engine.md). Whenever
|
||||
a root component is created, it is assigned an environment (see
|
||||
[below](#setting-an-environment) for more info on this). This environment is

This way, all components share the same `QWeb` instance. Owl internally requires

[`QWeb`](qweb_engine.md) instance. This is the QWeb instance that will be used to

render each templates in this specific component tree. Note that if no `QWeb`

instance is provided, Owl will simply generate it on the fly.

Note: some additional information about what should go into an environment

can be found in the [learning section](../learning/environment.md).

The environment is mostly static. Each application is free to add anything to

the environment, which is very useful, since this can be accessed by each sub

component.

## Content of an Environment
|
||||
|
||||
Some good use cases for additional keys in the environment are:
|
||||
|
||||
- some configuration keys,
|
||||
- session information,
|
||||
- generic services (such as doing rpcs, or accessing local storage).
|
||||
|
||||
Doing it this way means that components are easily testable: we can simply
|
||||
create a test environment with mock services.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```js
|
||||
async function myEnv() {
|
||||
const templates = await loadTemplates();
|
||||
const qweb = new QWeb({ templates });

const session = getSession();
