The DSL Builder Interface
The scope interface can be found here:
coldbox.system.ioc.dsl.IDSLBuilder. Please note that you DO NOT need to add the
implements to your code. We actually highly suggest you don't. There are many issues with interfaces yet in multiple CFML engines. So we do runtime checks for it, instead at compile time./**

Here is a sample DSL builder:

component accessors="true" {

function init( required injector ){
variables.injector = arguments.injector;
variables.logBox = variables.injector.getLogBox();
variables.log = variables.injector.getLogBox().getLogger( this );
return this;
}

function process( required definition, targetObject, targetID ){
var thisType = arguments.definition.dsl;
var thisTypeLen = listLen( thisType, ":" );
// DSL stages
switch ( thisTypeLen ) {
// logbox
case 1: {
return variables.logBox;
}
// logbox:root and logbox:logger
case 2: {
var thisLocationKey = getToken( thisType, 2, ":" );
switch ( thisLocationKey ) {
case "root": {

return variables.logbox.getLogger( arguments.definition.name );
}
}
break;
}
// Named Loggers

var thisLocationKey = getToken( thisType, 3, ":" );
// DSL Level 2 Stage Types
switch ( thisLocationType ) {
// Get a named Logger
case "logger": {
// Check for {this} and targetobject exists
if ( thisLocationKey eq "{this}" AND structKeyExists( arguments, "targetObject" ) ) {
return variables.logBox.getLogger( arguments.targetObject );

Here is another one that you can find in the ColdBox ORM module: https://github.com/coldbox-modules/cborm/tree/development/dsl
/**
* Copyright Since 2005 ColdBox Framework by Luis Majano and Ortus Solutions, Corp
* www.ortussolutions.com

* The ORM WireBox DSL
*/
component accessors="true" {
property name="injector";
property name="log";
/**
* Constructor as per interface
*/
public any function init( required any injector ){
variables.injector = arguments.injector;
variables.log = arguments.injector.getLogBox().getLogger( this );
return this;
}
/**
* Process an incoming DSL definition and produce an object with it
*
* @definition The injection dsl definition structure to process. Keys: name, dsl
* @targetObject The target object we are building the DSL dependency for. If empty, means we are just requesting building
* @targetID The target ID we are building this dependency for
*
* @return coldbox.system.ioc.dsl.IDSLBuilder
*/
function process( required definition, targetObject, targetID ){
var DSLNamespace = listFirst( arguments.definition.dsl, ":" );
switch ( DSLNamespace ) {
case "entityService": {
return getEntityServiceDSL( argumentCollection = arguments );
}
}
}
/**
* Get an EntityService Dependency
*/
function getEntityServiceDSL( required definition, targetObject ){
var entityName = getToken( arguments.definition.dsl, 2, ":" );
// Do we have an entity name? If we do create virtual entity service
if ( len( entityName ) ) {
return new cborm.models.VirtualEntityService( entityName );
}
// else return Base ORM Service
return new cborm.models.BaseORMService();
}
}
In your configuration binder you can then register the DSL component you created
customDSL = {
ortus = "path.model.dsl.OrtusBuilder"
};
or
mapDSL("ortus","path.model.dsl.OrtusBuilder");
This will register a new injection DSL namespace called ortus that maps to that instantiation component
path.model.dsl.OrtusBuilder. As you can see from the sample, creating your own DSL builder is fairly easy. The benefits of a custom DSL builder is that you can very easily create and extend the injection DSL language to your own benefit and if you are funky enough, override the behavior of the internal DSL Namespaces.
