cfml

Hi,
is it possible to export/import REST mappings using cfconfig?
I just found this question from 2019 with no answer: <https://dev.lucee.org/t/commandbox-cfconfig-and-rest/5441>
I need to import REST mapping using a configuration file and I also did not find anything in the commandbox docs.
Thanks

Hi <@UFURVB8M6> thanks for pointing out that thread.  I would have replied to it if I had seen it

The answer is no, I've never added REST support for Lucee in CFConfig.  Mainly because I don't personally use it (we built our REST APis in ColdBox! :muscle: ), no one has ever offered to sponsor the addition of it, and no one has never sent me a pull request to add support for it!

It's probably not too hard to add support for, so I'd encourage you to take a stab if you like-- CFConfig is all written in CFML :slightly_smiling_face:

Haha, ok :wink: Understood.
Looks like I'm the last one not (yet) using any box product :see_no_evil: but just vanilla lucee docker images and we did all our config in Dockerfile steps and I wanted to take a look on how to migrate to box and my first thing I wanted to migrate was the REST mappings :wink: So, bad luck for me ^^
Maybe I can be of help in the future with that, but first I need to get my first steps at all trying to understand the box universe.
Cheers

I replied on that thread as well.  Thx again for pointing it out

Defo look at the CommandBox powered docker images.  They are far more pwerful and easier to configure than the "official" Lucee or Adobe images

Which is mostly due to them using CommandBox which consolidates nearly all config into
• `server.json` JSON file
• CFConfig for anythigng in the admin (with a few exceptions such as REST)
• Env var overrides for just about anythign

You can get your feet wet with CommandBox here

And servers specifically here:

And here is a slide deck aimed at server management and deployment with CommandBox and its modules

Thanks Brad, will have a look at it! Cheers!

or you can use ColdBox!! All your mappings and routes are source controlled
