Can I access ColdBox handlers via ajax url? If so what would base url be?

I'm trying to figure out what the URL for my ajax call would be. Like the base url

depends on what you have implemented. do you have handler at the root handlers folder?

and have you been able to hit that handler on the browser?

I do not know what the url would be, new to ColdBox. Trying to update pre-existing site at company with no prior knowledge of ColdBox

I have 20+ years of ColdFusion experience. Not so with ColdBox

I imagine you just started with Coldbox and haven't added any routes to /config/Router.cfc. So if  you look at config/Router.cfc you will see `route(":handler/:action?").end()` This means your handler url is `{your_domain}/{name_of_your_handler_cfc}/{name_of_your_method_in_that_handler_cfc}`

for example `<http://mysite.com/user/favorites|mysite.com/user/favorites>`
which on the file system would be:
/handlers/user.cfc (which has a method called "favorites")

<@U7DAPDF3L> this is half of it. the next thing would be to make sure your handler extends "coldbox.system.RestHandler". If you used the cli `coldbox create` to scaffold a rest application then your handler is already extending that restHandler. if not you can simply type that in your handler. `component extends="coldbox.system.RestHandler" {...}` then in your method/action simply return your data struct and the response will json.

<@U7DAPDF3L> did you figure out how to request your coldbox handlers and get a json response?
