coldbox-decorators

What problem does it solve?

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.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Controller Decorator: Override or extend controller-level behavior such as relocate/setNextEvent to enforce SSL, append tracking parameters, or provide global helper methods.
• Request Context Decorator: Add request-scoped helpers and transformations like auto-trimming inputs, requireValue validation helpers, getCurrentUser accessors, or API detection logic.
• Use Case: Implement a RequestContextDecorator that auto-trims incoming values and exposes getCurrentUser while a ControllerDecorator enforces SSL redirects and exposes app-level metadata.

Quick Start

Create and register a RequestContextDecorator that trims input values and adds a getCurrentUser helper, then wire a ControllerDecorator to enforce SSL on all relocations.
