module-development

Structure a reusable ColdBox module by organizing handlers, models, views, and configuration files into a self-contained module directory. This approach enforces separation of concerns and maintainability, providing a clear template for your codebase.

Dependency injection in ColdBox modules works by declaring required models or services in your component configuration, allowing the framework to automatically wire them into your handlers. This integration streamlines lifecycle events and setup.

The best way to configure lifecycle events and settings is through the module's configuration file, which defines dependencies, interceptors, and routes. This setup ensures proper integration and delivers guidelines for maintaining high-quality module development.

Yes, you need existing knowledge of ColdBox module development patterns and the installed ColdBox framework. This prerequisite ensures you can properly apply the structured approach, dependency injection, and configuration guidelines required for self-contained modules.

Yes, you can use ForgeBox to manage dependencies during ColdBox module development. Integrating ForgeBox allows you to include external libraries and packages, streamlining the configuration and dependency injection setup for your structured modules.

Generate a new ColdBox module by running the command 'coldbox create module myModule'. This action creates the structured directory template, including handlers, models, views, and configuration files, providing a ready-to-use framework for development.
