```

### Arguments

| Argument   | Type  | Required | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                  | Default |

| `value`    | `any` | `false`  | <p>If passed, the value to set on the BoxFuture object as completed or it can be a lambda/closure<br>that will provide the value and it will be executed asynchronously, or it can be a native Java CompletableFuture</p>    |         |
| `executor` | `any` | `false`  | <p>The executor to use for the BoxFuture object. By default, the BoxFuture object will use the<br>default executor (ForkJoinPool.commonPool()). This can be the name of a named executor or a<br>custom executor object.</p> |         |
