Provides a safe, centralized way to extend or override ColdBox framework objects so you can add application-level behavior without modifying framework source code, reducing duplication and enabling consistent request and controller handling across the app.
Create and register a RequestContextDecorator that trims input values and adds a getCurrentUser helper, then wire a ControllerDecorator to enforce SSL on all relocations.

To extend ColdBox controller behavior safely, implement a CFML controller decorator component that extends the framework decorator base class, register its WireBox instantiation path in ColdBox.cfc, and delegate to the original object via getController().
Yes, you can add request-scoped helper methods to the ColdBox request context by implementing a RequestContextDecorator that extends the framework base class and registers in ColdBox.cfc, exposing helpers like getCurrentUser or auto-trimming logic.
Auto-trimming incoming request values in a ColdBox CFML application is done by creating a RequestContextDecorator that intercepts and transforms incoming values, then registering the decorator path in ColdBox.cfc for consistent global handling.
Enforcing SSL redirects on all ColdBox relocations is best handled by a ControllerDecorator that overrides the relocate or setNextEvent method, ensuring consistent SSL enforcement without duplicating logic across handlers.
Yes, ColdBox supports overriding request context and controller logic through its decorator pattern, allowing you to create CFML components that extend framework base classes and register via WireBox instantiation paths in ColdBox.cfc.
Use a ColdBox decorator when you need centralized, application-level behavior like global input sanitization, SSL enforcement, or shared helper methods, avoiding duplicated logic across individual handlers and keeping framework source unmodified.
