Prerequisites

Here's what you'll need to have ready on the day of the workshop:

Join the BoxTeam Slack Channel

Visit boxteam.herokuapp.com and invite yourself to the Slack.

CommandBox

Download and installation instructions are here: https://commandbox.ortusbooks.com/setup/download

CommandBox Modules

Once CommandBox is installed we will need to install some global modules. Start by opening a box shell by typing box. Once in the shell you can type:

install commandbox-dotenv,commandbox-migrations,commandbox-cfconfig

MySQL 5.7

We tend to use a Docker container for this, but it is not a requirement. Here is a command that will give you a local MySQL container you can interact with:

docker run -d --name=quick_blog_example -p 3306:3306 -e MYSQL_DATABASE=quick_blog_example -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root mysql:5.7

After you have created the container, you can start and stop it using the following commands:

docker start quick_blog_example
docker stop quick_blog_example

(You may choose to use a different database that Quick supports if you desire, but all examples will be ran against MySQL 5.7. We won't be able to support you with database-specific issues in the workshop.)

MySQL Client

You will want a SQL client to inspect and interact with your database. You can use any client you would like. Here are a few we like ourselves:
