# Registering a Custom DSL

To register a custom namespace in WireBox, place the following configuration in the `wirebox` struct defined within the `configure()` method of your WireBox binder CFC. in a ColdBox app, this is `/config/WireBox.cfc`. Alternatively, you can use the `mapDSL()` call in the `configure()` method.

{% code title="/config/WireBox.cfc" %}

```javascript
component extends="coldbox.system.ioc.config.Binder" {

    function configure(){
        wirebox = {
            // DSL Namespace registrations
            customDSL = {
                ortus = "path.model.dsl.MyDSL"
            }
        };

        // Or here...        
        mapDSL("ortus","path.model.dsl.MyDSL");        
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

If you want to register a custom DSL namespace from a module, you can make the same call via the `binder` reference that is provided to your `ModuleConfig.cfc`.

{% code title="ModuleConfig.cfc" %}

```javascript
component {
    function configure() {
        binder.mapDSL("ortus","path.model.dsl.MyDSL");
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

Now I can use the `ortus` DSL Namespace in my mappings DSL and even my annotations, isn't that cool!

```javascript
// inject it into a CFC
property name="funky" inject="ortus:funkyObject";

// map it in your WireBox Binder
map("Luis")
    .toDSL("ortus:funkyObject");
```

## Dynamic Custom DSL Registration

Injectors allow you to register custom DSLs at runtime by using the `registerDSL()` method on any injector.

```javascript
// Register Custom DSL
controller.getWireBox()
    .registerDSL( namespace="javaloader", path="app.model.JavaLoaderDSL" );
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wirebox.ortusbooks.com/6/extending-wirebox/custom-dsl/registering-a-custom-dsl.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
