better handled in your application route's hooks,
which allows for DOM interaction while waiting for conditions to resolve.

## Application Initializers

Application initializers can be created with Ember CLI's `initializer` generator:

```bash
ember generate initializer shopping-cart
```

Let's customize the `shopping-cart` initializer to inject a `cart` property into all the routes in your application:

```javascript {data-filename=app/initializers/shopping-cart.js}
export function initialize(application) {
application.inject('route', 'cart', 'service:shopping-cart');
};

export default {
initialize
};
```

## Application Instance Initializers

Application instance initializers can be created with Ember CLI's `instance-initializer` generator:

```bash
ember generate instance-initializer logger
```

Let's add some simple logging to indicate that the instance has booted:

```javascript {data-filename=app/instance-initializers/logger.js}
export function initialize(applicationInstance) {
let logger = applicationInstance.lookup('logger:main');
logger.log('Hello from the instance initializer!');
}

export default {
initialize
};
```

## Specifying Initializer Order

If you'd like to control the order in which initializers run, you can use the `before` and/or `after` options:
