# Contacts Handler

That's right, go to the handler now, no need of data layers or services, we build them for you!

```bash
coldbox create handler name=contacts actions=index,editor,delete,save
```

Now spice it up

```javascript
/**
* I am a new handler
*/
component{

    // Inject a virtual service layer binded to the contact entity
    property name="contactService" inject="entityService:Contact";

    function index(event,rc,prc){
        prc.contacts = contactService.list(sortOrder="lastName",asQuery=false);
        event.setView("contacts/index");
    }

    function editor(event,rc,prc){
        event.paramValue("id",0);
        prc.contact = contactService.get( rc.id );
        event.setView("contacts/editor");
    }

    function delete(event,rc,prc){
        event.paramValue("id",0);
        contactService.deleteByID( rc.id );
        flash.put( "notice", "Contact Removed!" );
        setNextEvent("contacts");
    }

    function save(event,rc,prc){
        event.paramValue("id",0);
        var contact = populateModel( contactService.get( rc.id ) );
        var vResults = validateModel( contact );
        if( !vResults.hasErrors() ){
            contactService.save( contact );
            flash.put( "notice", "Contact Saved!" );
            setNextEvent("contacts");
        }
        else{
            flash.put( "errors", vResults.getAllErrors() );
            return editor(event,rc,prc);
        }
    }

}
```
