For the most part, this value is either never set (which then uses the default timeout defined in the ColdFusion admin); or, it's set once at the top of the request. Sometimes, however, I run into situations where I need to dynamically update the timeout of the current page. Unfortunately, the CFSetting tag doesn't support this; as such, I wanted to outline ways in which this can be hacked into the request in either Adobe ColdFusion or Lucee CFML.

Hotwire continues to maintain expected browser behaviors by pushing the relevant URLs onto the browser's History API. Then, if the user presses the Back Button, Turbo Drive pulls the previous rendering out of its cache and restores the previous <body> content and scroll offset. In this post, I want to take a closer look at when the page cache is populated; and, what events get triggered when a cached page is re-rendered.

So, instead of creating a controller that manages an entire View, we should seek to extract aspects of said view that might make sense in a wider variety of use-cases. To practice this mindset, I wanted to try building a Stimulus controller that will preload a given link target if the user hovers over an element for some period of time. And, of course, we'll be doing this in Lucee CFML.

cbInertiaCreate a Single-Page Application (SPA) without writing an API. Keep all your models, handlers, validation, routing, and more in CFML and write the views in your favorite front-end framework like Vue, React, or Svelte.
This module provides the needed lifecycle and ajax responses to integrate Inertia.js into a ColdBox app on the server. It will let you render Inertia responses, both for the initial page visit and subsequent client-side transitions, as well as share data on every Inertia request.
