This template can be your starting ground for your BoxLang ColdBox HMVC web applications. You must use CommandBox to track your dependencies and start embedded servers.
Install the template dependencies by running the install command:
box installThis will setup all the needed dependencies for each application template. You can then start the BoxLang server:
box server startCode to your liking and enjoy!
If your project relies on Java third-party dependencies, you can use the included Maven pom.xml file in the root. You can add your dependencies there and then run the mvn install command to download them into the lib/java folder. The BoxLang application will automatically class load all the jars in that folder for you! You can also use the mvn clean command to remove all the jars.
You can find Java dependencies here: https://central.sonatype.com/. Just grab the Maven coordinates and add them to your pom.xml file.
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:bashWe 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 downWe 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 itRun 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
