Then your snippet could look like this:

<%= if Application.get_env(:my_app, Debug)[:show_additional_info] do %>
  <%= render_debug_info %>
<% end %>

And instead of calling Application.get_env(:my_app, Debug)[:show_additional_info], you could introduce a helper function in MyAppWeb.HTML.Helpers and extend MyAppWeb.view/0 to import it in every view…
