CFWheels 2.2 Released

It's been a while coming. Can I blame the pandemic? Lots of nice little tweaks and fixes in this version. Please see the changelog for all details.

Download zip

If updating from CFWheels 2.1.x:

It should be an easy upgrade , just swap out the wheels folder.

If updating from CFWheels 2.0.x:

  • replace your wheels folder from the one in the download, and
  • outside the wheels folder, ensure you've got a file at events/onabort.cfm and create it if needed.
  • rename any instances of findLast() to findLastOne() (this has been changed due to Lucee 5.3 having a new inbuilt function called findLast() which clashes with the wheels internals)

As always, a huge thanks to all contributors - stay safe out there!

If updating from CFWheels 2.2.x:

If should be an easy upgrade, just swap out the wheels folder.

Potentially Breaking Changes

  • Automatic Time Stamps: the deletedAt column was using the server's local time for the timestamp while createdAt / updatedAt were using the timestamp selected for the timestamp mode. The default for CFWheels' timestamp mode is UTC and therefore all future deletedAt timestamps will be in UTC unless you've changed the default. Please review any SQL that uses deletedAt for datetime comparison.

CFWheels DotEnvSettings Plugin published

A new plugin was published to provide support for .env settings files in a production environment. This plugin is based on Eric Peterson's CommandBox module and allows the use of .env or similarly named files to store your application secrets so they can be kept out of source control.

LICENSE

Apache License, Version 2.0.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

  • Lucee 5+
  • ColdFusion 9+
  • CFWheels 2+

Instructions

Just drop the zip file into your plugins folder and restart your application or use CommandBox cli to install. Simply type the following at the root of your project:

box install cfwheels-dotenvsettings

Usage

Create a .env file in your project root and add to .gitignore or your version control's equivalent (don't commit secrets to your repo!) The file can contain JSON or Java properties style key value pairs:

// property style
MY_SECRET_KEY=somevalue
MY_OTHER_SECRET=shh

// json style
{
  "MY_SECRET_KEY"="somevalue"
 ,"MY_OTHER_SECRET"="shh"
};

The default file name supported is .env but you can use any file name you want. You could even have multiple files for various environment.

In your CFWheels app you can read in your secrets by adding readDotEnvSettings() to your application. The most logical point to do this would be in your events\onApplicationStart.cfm file, but you could do it in your environment specific settings.cfm files as well. You can then access the secrets contained in the file processed using get("MY_SECRET_KEY").

If you want to customize the secrets file to use, you can specify the file name by passing in the file name like so readDotEnvSettings(".env-second").

Wheels 3.0: Setting Up Your Development Environment

Accompanying Video

This blog post has an accompanying video posted to YouTube.


Introduction

The forthcoming release of the Wheels 3.0 framework is creating waves in the development community, promising transformative enhancements and simplified workflows. In this blog post, we will focus on establishing the foundational environment crucial for executing Wheels projects efficiently. We'll guide you through project creation using both the current and the upcoming 3.0 versions of the framework and will explore the differences in their directory structures. Let's dive right in!

Installing CommandBox

The cornerstone of our setup is CommandBox, a versatile tool that modernizes the CFML developer's workflow. CommandBox serves as a command line shell, a package manager, and a seamless interface to start a CFML engine in any given directory, without the need to juggle complex application server installations. CommandBox is accessible for Mac, Windows, and Linux OS, with installation methods varying accordingly. For Mac users like me, Homebrew is the chosen method for installation, while Windows users can turn to Chocolaty or a native installer, and Linux enthusiasts can rely on built-in package managers.

CommandBox and Wheels CLI Setup

Once CommandBox is installed, jump into the CommandBox shell via the `BOX` command in the terminal window. Note that the first launch involves downloading several packages which could take some time. Following the setup, install the Wheels CLI commands into CommandBox using `INSTALL WHEELS-CLI`. Although I've already completed this step earlier, executing this ensures you are equipped with the right tools to proceed.

Creating Projects with Wheels

With CommandBox ready, embark on creating two projects using the `WHEELS NEW` command. This command initiates a wizard that will actively guide you through the process of setting up a new Wheels project.

1. Creating a Current Version Project

  1. Naming the Project: First, supply a name for the project, for instance, "CURRENT", which creates a directory embodying the project files.
  2. Template Selection: Choose the template corresponding to the current version and proceed with the default options.
  3. Project Initialization: Conclude the process with a "Yes" to affirm configuration and initiate project setup. The CLI will create the project directory and integrate necessary files. Launch the server with `START` and witness the "Congratulations" page, assuring correct installation.

2. Creating a Wheels 3.0 Version Project

  1. Naming the Project: Again, deploy `WHEELS NEW` to name your project.
  2. Template Selection: This time, select the "Bleeding Edge" template for a Wheels 3.0 implementation. Confirm defaults and proceed to build your project.
  3. Project Initialization: Use the `START` command to usher in a new CFML application server, culminating in a fresh "Congratulations" page highlighting the new branding and 3.0 framework base.

Exploring Directory Structures

A crucial step is to delve into the structural differences between the two projects:

  1. Current Version: This project exhibits a larger assortment of directories and files at its root, which poses an increased potential attack surface.
  2. Wheels 3.0: The new framework refines this exposure significantly, only housing four directories at the root. Key directories like config, controllers, and views reside under the `app` directory, while static resources like images and stylesheets find home under the `public` directory. The `vendor` directory now accommodates core framework files, enhancing security by mapping only the public folder to the webroot of the application server.

Conclusion

Setting up an environment for Wheels 3.0 marks the beginning of an exciting journey in CFML development. From installing CommandBox to exploring framework nuances, we have geared up for advanced Wheels projects.

Starting a New CFWheels Project with the CLI

If you're not using CommandBox for your CFWheels development, you're in for a treat. This is a quick post to show case how easy it is to start a new CFWheels project with the help of the the wheels command for CommandBox.

If you have CommandBox installed and have the cfwheels-cli module installed, then simply launch CommandBox by typing box and then issue the command wheels generate app myApp . This simple command will take care of the following:

  • Create a folder in the current working directory for the project and name if myApp
  • Copy the cfwheels-template-base package from ForgeBox and expand it in the root of the myApp folder
  • Copy the cfwheels-core package from ForgeBox and expand it into the wheels folder in the root of the myApp folder
  • This command also takes care of naming your app myApp or whatever name you pass in

You may be asking yourself, what are all these packages you're talking about? Well, we are starting to use the package management system provided by ForgeBox and CommandBox to make distribution of sample apps easier as well as installing and updating projects based on CFWheels. More to come on these topics later but this is just to whet your appetite.
