ICYMI - Ortus Webinar for August - cbValidation: Validate all things! with Javier Quintero

Aug 25, 2021 11:00 AM Central Time (US and Canada)
Learn alongside Javier Quintero, how to validate all things! Validations are fundamental when building APIs and web apps. Most of the time we skip validations and we open the door for bugs and issues in the app. Luckily, ColdBox has made this process simpler so we can prevent these issues from happening. With the cbValidation module, you can validate all incoming request data or populated objects. You can use the existing validators or create your own custom validators so you can validate everything the way you want.

Blogs, Tweets and Videos of the Week


Blog - Michael Born - Redirecting Hibernate Logs to the CommandBox Console
This week we're going a step farther to take all log4j messages emitted by the HIbernate logger and redirect them to the console. This console is what is shown when you run box server log --follow in CommandBox.

Tweet - Michael Born - Easy ColdBox Integration Testing
It's pretty awesome how simple and powerful integration testing is with ColdBox and TestBox. Are these tests stupidly simple, or simply stupid? #cfml #testbox #modernizeordie
