Installation
Use CommandBox to install
box install relax
Or, to install the bleeding-edge version
box install relax@be
Lucee 4.5+
Railo 4+
ColdFusion 9+
You will need to update the your ColdBox.cfc with a relax structure with your preferred settings for Relax.
// Relax Configuration Settingsrelax = {// The location of the relaxed APIs, defaults to models.resourcesAPILocation = "models.resources",// Default API to load, name of the directory inside of resourcesdefaultAPI = "forgebox",// Whether to cache the API Service as a singleton - In development/authoring, you'll want this set to falsecache = false};
You can look at the samples inside of the relax module under the models/resources directory.
You may also open up the Relax ui and click the "Export" button on the sidebar to export an example JSON schema which may be customized and then imported back in to Relax.
For reference, the the contents of that export, at the present, would be:
