 ## Providers
 
-Providers are the mechanism allowing components to export values that can be used by the target application or other components. A provider is a class that provides `value()` function, this function is called by [Context](Context.html) whenever another entity requests a value to be injected.

+When writing a custom sequence action, you need to access Elements contributed by other actions run in the sequence. For example, `authenticate()` action needs information about the invoked route to decide whether and how to authenticate the request.
 
 Because all Actions are resolved before the Sequence `handle` function is run, Elements contributed by Actions are not available for injection yet. To solve this problem, use `@inject.getter` decorator to obtain a getter function instead of the actual value. This allows you to defer resolution of your dependency only until the sequence action contributing this value has already finished.
