Just wanted to mention a hidden gem that maybe not many people know about.
When you are developing app with modularity in ColdBox, you will come into a place where you need to embed modules within modules. ColdBox 4 introduced this as Module Inception. You can also create URL Routing that behaves this way as well.
For example. Let’s say you have a module called contentbox and within it another module called security, and you want to embed the routing for the embedded module within the contentbox entry point.
contentbox - entry point → /contentbox
- security - entry point → /contentbox/security
Then in your routes for the contentbox (parent) module you can declare the entry points. yes, you can do more than one.
routes = [
{ pattern = “/security”, moduleRouting = “security” }
]
That’s it. The moduleRouting allows you to tell the routing service to route all URLs to that specific module when using the incoming pattern. So any route that starts with /contentbox/security will be forwarded to the security module for processing.
