## extensions.view() function

Inject a `ContextView` for extensions of the extension point. The view can then be listened on events such as `bind`<!-- -->, `unbind`<!-- -->, or `refresh` to react on changes of extensions.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
function view(extensionPointName?: string): (target: Object, member: string | undefined, methodDescriptorOrParameterIndex?: number | TypedPropertyDescriptor<any> | undefined) => void;
```

## Parameters

|  Parameter | Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
|  extensionPointName | string | Name of the extension point. If not supplied, we use the <code>name</code> tag from the extension point binding or the class name of the extension point class. If a class needs to inject extensions from multiple extension points, use different <code>extensionPointName</code> for different types of extensions. |

<b>Returns:</b>

(target: Object, member: string \| undefined, methodDescriptorOrParameterIndex?: number \| TypedPropertyDescriptor&lt;any&gt; \| undefined) =&gt; void

## Example


```ts
import {extensionPoint, extensions} from '@loopback/core';

@extensionPoint(GREETER_EXTENSION_POINT_NAME)
export class GreetingService {
 constructor(
   @extensions.view() // Inject a context view for extensions of the extension point
   private greetersView: ContextView<Greeter>,
   // ...
) {
  // ...
}

```
