# 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 } )
```

## 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/usage/wirebox-injector/injector-constructor-arguments.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.
