This template can be used to create Ortus based ColdBox Modules. To use, just click the Use this Template
button in the github repository: https://github.com/coldbox-modules/module-template and run the setup task from where you cloned it.
box task run taskFile=build/SetupTemplate
The SetupTemplate
task will ask you for your module name, id and description and configure the template for you! Enjoy!
The root of the module is the root of the repository. Add all the necessary files your module will need.
.github/workflows
- These are the github actions to test and build the module via CIbuild
- This is the CommandBox task that builds the project. Only modify if needed. Most modules will never modify it. (Modify if needed)test-harness
- This is a ColdBox testing application, where you will add your testing files, specs etc..cfformat.json
- A CFFormat using the Ortus Standards.cflintrc
- A CFLint configuration file according to Ortus Standards.editorconfig
- Smooth consistency between editors.gitattributes
- Git attributes.gitignore
- Basic ignores. Modify as needed..markdownlint.json
- A linting file for markdown docsbox.json
- The box.json for YOUR module. Modify as needed.changelog.md
- A nice changelog tracking fileModuleConfig.cfc
- Your module's configuration. Modify as needed.readme.md
- Your module's readme. Modify as needed.server-xx@x.json
- A set of json files to configure the major engines your modules supports.
The test harness is created to bootstrap your working module into the application afterAspectsLoad
. This is done in the config/ColdBox.cfc
. It includes some key features:
config
- Modify as neededtests
- All your testing specs should go here. Please notice the commented out ORM fixtures. Enable them if your module requires ORM.cfconfig.json
- A prepared cfconfig json file so your engine data is consistent. Modify as needed..env.sample
- An environment property file sample. Copy and create a.env
if your app requires it.
The build task will take care of building API Docs using DocBox for you but ONLY for the models
folder in your module. If you want to document more then make sure you modify the build/Build.cfc
task.
The github actions will clone, test, package, deploy your module to ForgeBox and the Ortus S3 accounts for API Docs and Artifacts. So please make sure the following environment variables are set in your repository. ** Please note that most of them are already defined at the org level **
FORGEBOX_TOKEN
- The Ortus ForgeBox API TokenAWS_ACCESS_KEY
- The travis user S3 accountAWS_ACCESS_SECRET
- The travis secret S3
Please contact the admins in the
#infrastructure
channel for these credentials if needed
