We are excited to announce the general release of DocBox v2.0.5 and our new CommandBox DocBox command module.  This release brings some great features for the creation of API documents, but also the tight integration into  CommandBox to allow you to generate API Docs with only CommandBox installed.  Below you can learn more about our release.

This update fixes the installation so you can install DocBox into your project by running the following Command using CommandBox:

box install docbox

The code repo and readme for DocBox is here:

https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/DocBox/

We have also released our first final 1.0.0 version of the CommandBox Docbox command.  If you want to generate your API docs completely from the command line without the need to even start a server, this is for you! The CommandBox commands are stored in a separate repo as well.

https://github.com/Ortus-Solutions/commandbox-docbox/

Install the new DocBox CommandBox Commands and use them like so:

box install commandbox-docbox
box docbox generate source=/path/to/coldbox mapping=coldbox excludes=tests strategy-outputDir=/output/path strategy-projectTitle="My Docs"

 

Please note, these command require the latest CommandBox 3.0 beta which can be downloaded from our integration server or via the CLI as well by running the command box upgrade --latest

This should allow you to really add some spice to your build jobs with new and easier ways to generate your API docs via Docbox.

ColdFusion Modernization for UK Universities Without Downtime

Across the United Kingdom, many universities still rely on legacy ColdFusion and CFML systems to power student portals, enrollment platforms, research databases, payment gateways, and internal academic workflows.

These systems are often:

  • 15 to 25 years old
  • Mission-critical
  • Deeply integrated with student information systems
