Hi everybody! Great news. I just pushed a beta version of our new addition: ColdBox LITE.
ColdBox LITE is basically ColdBox MVC only. Thanks to our modular core, and our starting plans to ColdBox 4, we have a new package in the repository called “mvc”. This LITE version will support the following features:
- Configuration CFC with environment control
- MVC via conventions
- WireBox DI
- RESTful capabilties
LITE will come in two downloads:
- LITE
- LITE+ORM
The ORM version includes our ORM classes for those interested in building MVC + ORM. As you will see from the source, it is extremely light weight and fast. It is also a great way for starting with ColdBox MVC and then moving to the platform once comfortable or the project needs it. It is also a great way to embed a simple MVC framework with your apps if you need to.
To use it, you basically switch the version you want at the Application.cfc level:
For LITE: coldbox.system.mvc.BootStrap
For Standard: coldbox.system.ColdBox
That’s it! Your application switches context from LITE to standard and all your code is portable so you can scale your application if you need to. We have included a very small application template called “lite” in the Application templates and we will do some samples with it as well. However, I would ask from the list to help out in creating samples and testing it out. I will be doing an open beta soon but for now, it is up to us.
What are the features you will need ColdBox Platform for:
- Interceptors
- Robust URL Mappings + RESTful additions
- ColdBox Security
- Flash RAM
- Feed control
- Modules
- Plugins
- Debugger
- Robust exception handling
- LogBox
- CacheBox
- MockBox and testing facilities
Please try it out and give me your feedback please! I have attached the alpha version as well or you can use the source.
