I created a simple test module that adds a text banner to all nodes if a checkbox is checked in the form of the modules configuration. Currently it is working halfway as I want. 

When the checkbox is checked and the configuration is exported the text banner displays on all nodes.

So far this is correct. But I don't want to have to export the configuration for the text banner to display. I want it to display immediately after checking the checkbox. 

An example is in Devel. If you go to the admin area of Devel and check the box 'Display $page array' The page array displays on every node afterwards without having to export the configuration

To display a text banner on all nodes I am using hook_node_view. Then getting the checkbox value from the settings file.

    function my_form_configy_node_view(array &$build, \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityInterface $entity, \Drupal\Core\Entity\Display\EntityViewDisplayInterface $display, $view_mode) {
    
      $config = \Drupal::config('my_form_configy.settings')->get('checkbox');
    
      if ($config === TRUE) {
    
          $build['layout_test'] = [
            '#markup' => '<h2> Extra, Extra read all about it.</h2>',
          ];
        }
    }

This is my form

    namespace Drupal\my_form_configy\Form;
    
    use Drupal\Core\Database\Database;
    use Drupal\Core\Form\FormBase;
    use Drupal\Core\Form\FormStateInterface;
    use Drupal\Core\Form\ConfigFormBase;
    
    class MyForm extends ConfigFormBase {
    
      public function getFormId() {
        return 'my_form_configy_1346';
      }
    
      const SETTINGS = 'my_form_configy.settings';
    
      protected function getEditableConfigNames() {
        return [
          static::SETTINGS,
        ];
      }
    
    
      public function buildForm(array $form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
    
      $config = $this->config(static::SETTINGS);
    
        $check = \Drupal::config('my_form_configy.settings')->get('checkbox');
    
        $form['checkbox'] = [
          '#type' => 'checkbox',
          '#title' => $this->t('Do you want to add the text banner to all nodes? Checking this box will add a large h2 text banner to add nodes. You must export the config and reload a node page'),
          '#default_value' => $check,
          '#weight' => '0',
        ];
    
        $form['#theme'] = 'my_form';
          return parent::buildForm($form, $form_state);
      }
    
    
      public function submitForm(array &$form, FormStateInterface $form_state) {
        $this->configFactory->getEditable(static::SETTINGS)
          ->set('checkbox', $form_state->getValue('checkbox'))
          ->save();
        parent::submitForm($form, $form_state);
      }
    
    
    }



Devel is using the same method I am, but if you check the box 'Display $page array' the feature is added immediately.

    function devel_page_attachments_alter(&$page) {
      if (\Drupal::currentUser()->hasPermission('access devel information') && \Drupal::config('devel.settings')->get('page_alter')) {
        dpm($page, 'page');
      }
    }


I have searched for ConfigFormBase in core and contrib modules and read this.
