## Definition

**Assembly:** Microsoft.Restier.Core.dll

**Namespace:** Microsoft.Restier.Core

**Inheritance:** System.Object

## Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
Microsoft.Restier.Core.RestierContainerBuilder
```

## Summary

The default Dependency Injection container builder for Restier.

## Constructors

### <Icon icon="hammer" iconType="duotone" color="#419AC5" size={24} className="mr-2" /> .ctor

Initializes a new instance of the [RestierContainerBuilder](/restier/api-reference/Microsoft/Restier/Core/RestierContainerBuilder) class.

#### Syntax

```csharp theme={"dark"}
public RestierContainerBuilder(System.Action<Microsoft.Restier.Core.RestierApiBuilder> configureApis = null)
```

#### Parameters

| Name            | Type                                                      | Description                                                                                                                                 |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `configureApis` | `System.Action<Microsoft.Restier.Core.RestierApiBuilder>` | Action to configure the [ApiBase](/restier/api-reference/Microsoft/Restier/Core/ApiBase) registrations that are available to the Container. |

#### Remarks

The API registrations are re-created every time because new Containers are spun up per-route. It make make more sense to create a static
instance to do this, so the Dictionary is only created once.
