WireBox : Dependency Injection & AOP For ColdFu...

Registering a Custom DSL

Last updated 19 days ago

To register a custom namespace in WireBox, place the following configuration in the wirebox struct defined within the configure() method of your WireBox binder CFC. in a ColdBox app, this is /config/WireBox.cfc. Alternatively, you can use the mapDSL() call in the configure() method.
/config/WireBox.cfc
component extends="coldbox.system.ioc.config.Binder" {
​
    function configure(){
        wirebox = {
            // DSL Namespace registrations
            customDSL = {
                ortus = "path.model.dsl.MyDSL"
            }
        };
​
        // Or here...        
        mapDSL("ortus","path.model.dsl.MyDSL");        
    }
}
If you want to register a custom DSL namespace from a module, you can make the same call via the binder reference that is provided to your ModuleConfig.cfc.
ModuleConfig.cfc
component {
    function configure() {
        binder.mapDSL("ortus","path.model.dsl.MyDSL");
    }
}
Now I can use the ortus DSL Namespace in my mappings DSL and even my annotations, isn't that cool!
// inject it into a CFC
property name="funky" inject="ortus:funkyObject";
​
// map it in your WireBox Binder
map("Luis")
    .toDSL("ortus:funkyObject");
Dynamic Custom DSL Registration
Injectors allow you to register custom DSLs at runtime by using the registerDSL() method on any injector.
// Register Custom DSL
controller.getWireBox()
    .registerDSL( namespace="javaloader", path="app.model.JavaLoaderDSL" );
