Hey everyone! I’m excited to share a new quickstart project I’ve put together that showcases the power of CBWIRE and BoxLang working together.
What is it?
This is a modern, reactive web application starter template
that demonstrates:
- Live data binding with CBWIRE components
- Real-time form validation
- Component state management
- Responsive design with Bootstrap 5
What’s included?
- A contact form with live validation
- Real-time user feedback as you type
- Mobile-responsive design
Perfect for:
- Developers new to CBWIRE or BoxLang who want to see it in action
- Anyone wanting a solid starting point for CBWIRE projects
- Learning how BoxLang and CBWIRE work together
- Understanding reactive component patterns in CFML
Getting Started:
It’s super simple to get running - just need CommandBox installed:
git clone https://github.com/grantcopley/cbwire-boxlang-quickstart.git
cd cbwire-boxlang-quickstart
box install && box server start
That’s it! Your app will be running locally in seconds.
Repository:
Give it a try and let me know what you think! I’d love to hear feedback or see what you build with it. The validation system is particularly neat - it shows real-time feedback as users type and prevents form submission when there are errors.
Happy coding!
