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.

ColdBox 8.2.0: Middleware, Streaming, AI Gateways, and a Whole Lot More

ColdBox 8.2.0 is the result of work we started in March. Several of its headline features, including route-scoped middleware and Server-Sent Events, were incubated for months before shipping. We held them back on purpose: we wanted the APIs settled, the edge cases covered, and the testing story complete before asking you to build on them. They're ready now.

Assert Like You Mean It, TestBox 7.1 Part 1: Set Expectations

If you have ever tested that two collections contain "the same stuff, order doesn't matter," you already know the workaround: sort both arrays, compare them element by element, and hope nobody adds a duplicate. It works, but it isn't what you meant to write. You meant "these are the same set."

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

Is Your QA Process Ready for Your Next ColdFusion or BoxLang Release?

As applications continue to evolve, QA can easily become reactive. Teams may test late in the development process, focus only on happy-path scenarios, repeat manual checks, or rely on AI-generated changes without fully validating the results. ​ These gaps can create risks that are not always visible until they affect users, disrupt operations, or require costly fixes in production.
