## inject.setter variable

Inject a function for setting (binding) the given key to a given value. (Only static/constant values are supported, it's not possible to bind a key to a class or a provider.)

This is useful e.g. when implementing Actions that are contributing new Elements.

See also `Setter<T>`<!-- -->.

<b>Signature:</b>

```typescript
setter: (bindingKey: BindingAddress, metadata?: InjectBindingMetadata | undefined) => (target: Object, member: string | undefined, methodDescriptorOrParameterIndex?: number | TypedPropertyDescriptor<any> | undefined) => void
```
