Installing CacheBox

PreviousOverviewNextCreating CacheBox

Last updated 1 year ago

CacheBox can be installed as a standalone framework or included with the latest ColdBox Platform release, so it is unnecessary if you are within a ColdBox application.

System Requirements

  • Adobe ColdFusion 2018+

  • Lucee 5+

Standalone Installation

You can leverage to install the standalone version of CacheBox with a simple command:

# Latest Version
box install cachebox

# Bleeding Edge
box install cachebox@be

This will install CacheBox as a dependency in your application into a folder called cachebox. You can then leverage the standalone namespace within your application: cachebox.system.ioc.

Mappings

You will need the following mapping that points to the folder you installed cachebox into:

this.mappings[ "/cachebox" ] = "path.to.cachebox";

This will ensure that the appropriate libraries can find each other.

Remember that this only applies to the standalone approach.
