Constructing reactive, modern CFML applications is a breeze with our module CBWIRE. To make sure users can take advantage of the features we've added to CBWIRE, I have created an examples repository that includes Getting Started, Forms, Template Directives, Advanced, and Alpine sections.

Each of these sections provides an example that is broken down into Result, View/Layout, Component, and Template sections.

The Result section gives users the opportunity to interact with the example, while the View/Layout section demonstrates how the component can be integrated into ColdBox views or layouts. The Component portion enables users to view the internal workings of the component, including data properties, computed properties, and actions. Finally, the Template section showcases the HTML that makes up the component's UI.

Pro tip

To get a better understanding of CBWIRE and its AJAX requests, users can use their browser's developer tools to inspect the Network tab. Here you can see the incoming and outgoing payloads that CBWIRE generates behind the scenes.

Summary

I hope that this examples repository helps users get the most out of CBWIRE and its features. If you have any recommendations for how we can improve the examples or CBWIRE itself, please direct them to me at https://twitter.com/grantcopley.

The quest...

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

Introducing the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter: Dynamic JVM Templating for Spring

Spring Boot developers know the pain of evaluating view technologies. Thymeleaf is great — until you need more expressiveness. FreeMarker is powerful — until the syntax fights you. What if you could write templates in a dynamic JVM language that gives you the full power of the platform, feels natural, and requires zero setup to integrate?

Meet the BoxLang Spring Boot Starter.

Why Swiss Banks Are Modernizing CFML Platforms Without Rewrites

The growing need to evolve legacy financial platforms safely

Many Swiss banks and financial institutions still operate important systems built on ColdFusion and CFML platforms.

These systems manage a wide range of functions, including:

  • internal banking workflows
  • reporting systems
  • client portals
  • data integration platforms
  • compliance and risk management tools
