Whether you use WireBox standalone or within a ColdBox context a Binder gets a structure of configuration properties so it can use them whenever you are configuring it or declaring mappings. If you are in standalone mode, the Injector can be constructed with a properties structure that will be passed to the binder for usage. If you are in a ColdBox application the ColdBox application configuration structure is passed for you. You can then use these properties with the following methods:
getProperty(name,[default]) : Get a specific property
getProperties() : Get all the properties structure
propertyExists(name) : Check if a property exists
setProperty(name,value) : Dynamically add properties to the structure
