Bootstrapper.boot() method
Function is responsible for calling all registered Booter classes that are bound to the Application instance. Each phase of an instance must complete before the next phase is started.
Signature:
boot(execOptions?: BootExecutionOptions, ctx?: Context): Promise<Context>;
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| execOptions | BootExecutionOptions | Execution options for boot. These determine the phases and booters that are run. |
| ctx | Context | Optional Context to use to resolve bindings. This is primarily useful when running app.boot() again but with different settings (in particular phases) such as ‘start’ / ‘stop’. Using a returned Context from a previous boot call allows DI to retrieve the same instances of Booters previously used as they are bound using a CONTEXT scope. This is important as Booter instances may maintain state. |
Returns:
Promise<Context>
