Public Module Properties\/Directives

Here is a listing of all public properties that can be defined in a module.

Below you can see an example of declarations for the configuration object:

component{
    // Module Properties
    this.title      = "My Test Module";
    this.author       = "Luis Majano";
    this.webURL       = "http://www.coldbox.org";
    this.description    = "A funky test module";
    this.version      = "1.0.0";
    // If true, looks for views in the parent first, if not found, then in the module. Else vice-versa
    this.viewParentLookup   = true;
    // If true, looks for layouts in the parent first, if not found, then in module. Else vice-versa
    this.layoutParentLookup = true;
    // The module entry point using SES
    this.entryPoint     = "/testing";
    this.inheritEntryPoint = true;
    this.autoMapModels = true;
    this.modelNamespace = "store";
    this.aliases = [ "store", "ecommerce", "shop" ];
    this.cfmapping = "cbstore";
    this.parseParentSettings = true;
    this.dependencies = [ "JavaLoader", "CFCouchbase" ];

    function configure(){
    }
}

The module's default route (ex:/forgebox) that ColdBox will use to create an entry point pattern link into the module. Similar to the default event setting. The SES interceptor will also use this to auto-register the module's routes if used by calling the method addModuleRoutes() for you.

If true, then the entrypoint will be constructed by looking at its parent hierarchy chain. This is a great way to build automated nesting schemas for APIs

If true, ColdBox will merge any settings found in moduleSettings[ this.modelNamespace ] in the config/ColdBox.cfc file with the module settings, overriding them where the keys are the same. Otherwise, settings in the module will override the parent configuration.
