I am going to walk through how you can use CFLint and Jenkins to do static code analysis on your CFML code as part of a CI process.Read →

The Vue CLI is a great tool for developing Vue.js applications but I wanted to see how it could be integrated into an application with a CFML/Coldbox back-end.Read →

the new guidelines for password requirements say to drop all the complexity rules and to create a blocklist of weak, common, and compromised passwords that cannot be used when a user creates a new account. Here is a quick example of one way this could be implemented in CFML.Read →

In this post, I will focus on the #1 OWASP vulnerability which is Injection and how to prevent it in CFML applications.Read →

Here is an easy way to run CFLint on files from within ST2 or ST3 using build systems.Read →

I created this gist that is a CommandBox Task Runner that takes a glob pattern and runs CFLint on any files that match.Read →

In part I of this blog series we walked through using TestBox-Snapshots to create some approval tests for refactoring a legacy CFML application. In this post, we will focus on setting our application…Read →

In my previous post , I discussed the importance of refactoring and a general workflow for using Approval Tests to be sure your output is not changing.Read →

Watching the keynote talks from this year’s Into the Box Conference gave me some inspiration to start learning more about running CFML applications in Docker. I currently run a Jekyll Docker image to…Read →

This is a script I wrote to quickly setup a new Mura 7 development server in CommandBox . It runs on Lucee with an embedded H2 database. It uses the new cfconfig module to setup the datasource.Read →

In my previous blog posts I talked about working with streams in Node.js. I assumed I could do something similar working in CFML by using Java but had never attempted it. At my company we process many…Read →

In Adobe Coldfusion you can only return one record set from using cfquery or queryExecute . If you need to return multiple record sets then you can write a stored procedure and use cfstoredproc .Read →

A quick tip for future Jason or anyone else who may work with Coldbox and legacy code (not MVC) running side-by-side. I found this well documented in the Coldbox Documentation but wanted to post it as…Read →

I have been refactoring a Coldbox application as a Single Page Application using Vue.js using ColdBox Elixir . I was origionally looking at ColdBox Elixir for compiling Sass. After reading the docs I…Read →

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are commonly used in single-sign-on solutions. They can also be used to authenticate single-page front-end applications with a back-end API. The benefit is that they are…Read →

With Lucee you can add a datasource for the H2 embedded database and if the database doesnt exist it will be created automatically. This can be handy if you have some automated setup routine for your…Read →
