1.7.0

Arguments

input

\Joomla\Input\InputAn optional argument to provide dependency injection for the application's input object. If the argument is a JInputCli object that object will become the application's input object, otherwise a default input object is created.

config

\Joomla\Registry\RegistryAn optional argument to provide dependency injection for the application's config object. If the argument is a Registry object that object will become the application's config object, otherwise a default config object is created.

output

cliInput

\Joomla\CMS\Application\CLI\CliInputThe CLI input handler.

dispatcher

\Joomla\Event\DispatcherInterfaceAn optional argument to provide dependency injection for the application's event dispatcher. If the argument is a DispatcherInterface object that object will become the application's event dispatcher, if it is null then the default event dispatcher will be created based on the application's loadDispatcher() method.

container

\Joomla\DI\ContainerDependency injection container.
