# Injector Constructor Arguments

The injector can be constructed with three optional arguments:

| Argument       | Type                            | Required | Default                                   | Description                                                                                                                       |
| -------------- | ------------------------------- | -------- | ----------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **binder**     | instance or instatiation path   | false    | `wirebox.system.ioc.config.DefaultBinder` | The binder instance or instantiation path to be used to configure this WireBox injector with                                      |
| **properties** | struct                          | false    | structnew()                               | A structure of name value pairs usually used for configuration data that will be passed to the binder for usage in configuration. |
| **coldbox**    | `coldbox.system.web.Controller` | false    | null                                      | A reference to the ColdBox application context you will be linking the Injector to.                                               |

If you are using WireBox within a ColdBox application, you don't even need to do any of this, we do it for you by using some configuration data in your ColdBox configuration file or conventions.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, WireBox when constructed is automatically stored in application scope as `application.wirebox`
{% endhint %}

```javascript
// Simple Creation - automatically stored in application.wirebox
new coldbox.system.ioc.Injector()

// Custom Binder
new coldbox.system.ioc.Injector( "config.MyBinder" )

// Custome Binder + Properties
new coldbox.system.ioc.Injector( "config.MyBinder", { props } )
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://wirebox.ortusbooks.com/usage/wirebox-injector/injector-constructor-arguments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
