I am glad to announce WireBox 1.1.0 to the ColdFusion community. We have definitely received tremendous feedback on WireBox and have been able to complete this release based on great feedback and over 15,000 downloads since its release February 21st. For those o...

This video shows the basics of setting up a "Binder" with WireBox and how to setup mappings and alias using the WireBox DSL for super simple dependency injection that is easy to read.

WireBox Binder and Configuration Introduction... from Curt Gratz on Vimeo.

Again, this is not even scratching the surface of what the binder in WireBox can do. Below are some other simple changes you could make to the binder or ways you could do injection

So this line

.initArg(name="daoPath",dsl="id:daoPath"); Could change to .initArg(name="",ref="daoPath") //refpoints to an id directly

as one possible alternative, so if we wanted, we could remove the .initArg and do it via annotations

function init(required daoPath inject) or function init(required daoPath inject="id") or function init(required daoPath inject="id:daoPath")

So, as you can see, you can do your injections a variety of ways. Now, go, read the docs, and install WireBox and get wiring your model up the easy way.

This video shows how to download and install the WireBox framework and offers super simple example of dependency injection using WireBox without any configuration or messy XML.

 

WireBox Installation and Introduction... from Curt Gratz on Vimeo.

Again, this is not even scratching the surface of what WireBox can do, but I wanted to get you started and thinking. More screencasts will be following to help you go deeper into how WireBox can help you in your development.

Now, go, read the docs, and install WireBox and get wiring your model up the easy way.

Alright folks, I took the ColdBox 3.0 Modules contest to heart and created my own entry (I don't qualify for prizes so don't worry).  I took our Amazon S3 explorer application and in a matter of 45 minutes we have our very own Amazon S3 Explorer Module compatible with any ColdBox 3.0.0 application, just drop and play!

A few folks have asked how you can leverage MXUnit and MockBox to mock a super class class.  Here is a simple example to showcase this:

Class Parent A

<cfcomponent name="A"> 
<!--- send ---> 
<cffunction access="public" hint="" name="send" output="false" returntype="any"> 
<cfreturn parent="">
</cffunction> 
</cfcomponent> 

Class Parent B
