ForgeBox 3.0.0 has landed with tons of new features and updates including ForgeBox Storage and ForgeBox Lucee Provider!

Welcome to the last day of (ForgeBox) Christmas! I hope you have enjoyed this crash course in these different modules. The ForgeBox ecosystem is vast and wonderful. Next time you have a need, open up https://www.forgebox.io and check to see what the community has already contributed. Let's end today with an introduction to CFFractal, an API marshalling module.

Let's tackle a powerful module today. It will take quite a bit of configuration, but hopefully you will see the usefulness of this module by the end of this post. Meet CommandBox Migrations, a tool for managing and running your database migrations with CommandBox.

Today's featured module is a TestBox module that introduces snapshot testing capabilities to TestBox. If you've avoided testing your legacy applications, come see how TestBox Snapshots can get you started.

I love modules that help me do the right thing in my code, especially when I often forget to do something. Today's module is very straight-forward — verify-csrf-interceptor — an interceptor that will automatically check for CSRF tokens for all non-GET requests to help protect against cross-site request forgery.

A short one but a good one today. Let's see how we can automate tasks with CommandBox Githooks.
