FAQPage Schema
How do I manage CFML and BoxLang package dependencies using ForgeBox?▼

You can manage CFML and BoxLang package dependencies using ForgeBox by configuring a box.json file at your project root and running an automated install flow to fetch, update, and lock project dependencies across environments.

What is the best way to publish a new package to ForgeBox and handle semantic versioning?▼

Publishing a new package to ForgeBox with semantic versioning involves configuring your box.json metadata and executing a streamlined publishing workflow that updates version numbers and deploys the package from development to production endpoints.

Can I install CommandBox packages from Git repositories or HTTP endpoints instead of ForgeBox?▼

Yes, you can install CommandBox packages directly from Git repositories, HTTP endpoints, or local folders, allowing flexible dependency sourcing while maintaining consistent box.json configuration and lock file handling across your development environments.

Does box.json support devDependencies and script hooks for automated package workflows?▼

Yes, box.json supports devDependencies and integrated scripting hooks, enabling you to automate package workflows and separate development dependencies from production requirements throughout the CommandBox lifecycle.

How do lock files work when updating CommandBox dependencies across different environments?▼

Lock files handle dependency resolution by locking package versions during installation, ensuring consistent updates and preventing version drift when you move CommandBox projects across development and production environments.
