Supporting Lucee

Firstly, a big thank you to all of our supporters, you make this project possible!

Does your company use Lucee as a platform? How about asking them to support Open Source software.

Congratulations! I’ll talk to the team to see if we can try it out internally. I’m personally curious to see what the AST functions show us (just for funzies).

Hey Ben, I tried that new AST function, and yes it outputs the AST as structure. If you can show how to take advantage of that, I’m all ears.

What I’m really curious about is the Lucene 3 extension. I’ve already tested the AI augmentation and it works well.

Thank you Zackster, and the entire Lucee team.

Congratulations!
I haven’t worked on ColdFusion projects for several years, and now that I’m planning to return to ColdFusion development, it coincides with the release of Lucee 7. I figured I’d give it a try. I’d also like to ask everyone: have there been any good architectures or technology stacks for building ColdFusion applications in the last couple of years? Alternatively, could anyone recommend a couple of good open-source projects for me to analyze and learn from the code? Thank you.

Welcome back to CFML land!

These mature frameworks probably have been around since you last looked at CFML, but they are all actively maintained and use modern cfml.

We have a wide range recipes over on Lucee docs, covering both newer and older functionality

Here’s a few of my favourite Lucee enhancements to CFML, things I use daily

Hi Zackster,
Thank you very much for providing these.
There are indeed some new technologies that I haven’t had the chance to use before. I will continue learning and try to build a project on my own.

Masa (aka Mura) is still out there too : GitHub - MasaCMS/MasaCMS: MASA CMS is an Enterprise Content Management platform based on open source technology.

Thank you. I will definitely give it a try later.

I’ve been working on ColdBox these past couple of days. While creating the App, I encountered several issues with downloading dependencies or packages due to network restrictions.

Eventually, I resolved them by using a proxy and successfully built my first CFML application with ColdBox.

It feels incredibly rewarding.

Coldbox:

  • MVC

  • Integrated Rest API functionality

  • Controller passes events, rc, prc

FW1:

  • MVC

  • Integrated Rest API functionality

  • Controller passes rc

CFWheels

  • Orme based: DB queries are abstracted away. DB is mapped during application initialisation

  • MVC

  • Integrated Rest API functionality

https://cfwheels.org

Summary:

Personally, I loved FW1, but it is no longer maintained by its original creator, Sean Corfield, so I would recommend using Coldbox.

Thank you very much!

I’m currently learning ColdBox and planning to start by building a ToDo List or a Blog with it to fully understand its architectural design and advantages.

I’ll also try FW1 at a later stage.

Although apparently FW1 has been picked up again:

By a guy called Denard Springle IV

But I must say, I haven’t seen much activity in the repo?

Anyway, FW1 is now on a branch called 5.0.0

Actually the latest is that FW/1 is being relaunched as CFMVC by Mark Takata from Adobe.

Wow. Thanks for this news!

That’s really interesting that someone from Adobe, is extending FW1.

I wonder if he is doing this as a personal project or on behalf of Adobe?
If the latter, this is quite a positive development.
It shows that Adobe aren’t planning to ditch Coldfusion, anytime soon?
