Relax Programmatic DSL (Deprecated)
Relax Programmatic DSL
Deprecated as of Relax 2.3, but still available, the Relax DSL configuration object which is mixed into a simple Relax CFC Definition Object so you can use all the methods in this CFC to define RESTful web services. All functions can be concatenated to create a programmatic DSL. This DSL is exportable to OpenAPI formats.
Example Using the Forgebox API:
1
this.relax = {
2
// Service Title
3
title = "ForgeBox IO",
4
// Service Description
5
description = "This API powers ForgeBox",
6
// Service entry point, can be a single string or name value pairs to denote tiers
7
//entryPoint = "http://www.myapi.com",
8
entryPoint = {
9
"production" : "https://forgebox.io/api/v1",
10
"staging" : "http://forgebox.stg.ortussolutions.com/api/v1",
11
"development" : "http://localhost:9095/api/v1"
12
},
13
// Does it have extension detection via ColdBox
14
extensionDetection = true,
15
// Valid format extensions
16
validExtensions = "json",
17
// Does it throw exceptions when invalid extensions are detected
18
throwOnInvalidExtension = false
19
};
