ColdBox Elixir Application Template

This template can be your starting ground for your modern ColdFusion (cfml) web applications. You must use CommandBox to track your dependencies and start embedded servers.

This template leverages ColdBox and the (ColdBox Elixir)[https://coldbox-elixir.ortusbooks.com] project for asset management and compilations. You can place all your static assets in the resources/assets folder and Elixir will combine, version, copy, and even babelify your code to their appropriate location in the includes folder.

Quick Installation

Install the template dependencies by running the install command:

box install

This will setup all the needed dependencies for each application template. You can then start the embedded server:

box server start

Code to your liking and enjoy!

Dockerfile

We have included a build/Dockerfile so you can build docker containers from your source code. We have also added two scripts in your box.json so you can build the docker image and run the docker image using our CommandBox Docker containers.

# Build a docker **container**
run-script docker:build
# Run the container
run-script docker:run
# Go into the container's bash prompt
run-script docker:bash

Docker Compose Stack

We have included a build/docker-compose.yaml stack that can be used to run the application in a container alongside a database. We have included support for MySQL, PostgreSQL and MSSQL. We have also included the run-script docker:stack command you so you compose the stack up or down.

run-script docker:stack up
run-script docker:stack down

VSCode Helpers

We have included two vscode helpers for you:

• .vscode/settings.json - Includes introspection helpers for ColdBox and TestBox
• .vscode/tasks.json - Tasks to assist in running a Test Bundle and a CommandBox Task

We have included two custom tasks:

• Run CommandBox Task - Open a CommandBox task and run it
• Run TestBox Bundle - Open the bundle you want to test and then run it

To run the custom tasks open the command palette and choose Tasks: Run Build Task or the shortcut ⇧⌘B
