bx-orm-configuration

What problem does it solve?

This skill streamlines configuring bx-orm in BoxLang applications, enabling rapid setup of Application.bx ormSettings, datasource wiring, and ORM lifecycle controls to improve startup reliability and runtime consistency.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Centralized ORM activation: toggles bx-orm, selects the active datasource, and wires entityPaths for persistence.
• Flexible DB schema management: supports dbcreate options (none, update, dropcreate) to align development and production migrations.
• Multi-datasource and event support: enables separate datasources and event handling configurations for complex apps.
• Session and cache basics: provides settings for autoManageSession, flushAtRequestEnd, and secondary cache configuration.

Quick Start

Create an Application.bx configuration snippet that sets ormSettings with entityPaths and dbcreate, then enable ORM by setting ORMenabled to true.
