# ColdBox Mode Listener

![](/files/-LA-Us3mbWYmQ-p5vl3Q)

| **Argument**      | **Type**                                  | **Execution Mode**     | **Description**                                                               |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **event**         | coldbox.system.web.context.RequestContext | **coldbox**            | The request context of the running request                                    |
| **interceptData** | struct                                    | **standalone-coldbox** | The data structure passed in the event                                        |
| **buffer**        | coldbox.system.core.util.RequestBuffer    | **ColdBox**            | A request buffer object for producing elegant content in ColdBox applications |
| **rc**            | struct                                    | **coldbox**            | Reference to the `rc` scope                                                   |
| **prc**           | struct                                    | **coldbox**            | Reference to the `prc` scope                                                  |

So let's say that we want to listen on the beforeInjectorShutdown and on the afterInstanceCreation event in our listener.

```javascript
component{

    function configure(){}

    function beforeInjectorShutdown(event, interceptData, buffer, rc, prc ){
        var injector = arguments.interceptData.injector;
        // Do my stuff here:

        // I can use a log object because ColdBox is cool and injects one for me already.
        log.info("DUDE, I am going down!!!");
    }

    function afterInstanceCreation(event, interceptData, buffer, rc, prc ){
        var injector = arguments.interceptData.injector;
        var target = arguments.interceptData.target;
        var mapping = arguments.interceptData.mapping;

        log.info("The object #mapping.getName()# has just been built, performing my awesome AOP processing on it.");

        // process awesome AOP on this target
        processAwesomeAOP( target );
    }
}
```

## 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/usage/wirebox-event-model/wirebox-listeners/coldbox-mode-listener.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.
