# Contacts Handler

Let's put all the layers together and make the handler talk to the model. I create different saving approaches, to showcase different integration techniques:

```
coldbox create handler name=Contacts actions=index,newContact,create,save --open
```

Spice it up now

```javascript
component{

    // Dependency Injection
    property name="contactService" inject="ContactService";

    function index(event,rc,prc){
        // Get all contacts
        prc.aContacts = contactService.list();
        event.setView("contacts/index");
    }

    function newContact(event,rc,prc){
        event.setView("contacts/newContact");
    }

    function create(event,rc,prc){
        var contact = populateModel( "Contact" );
        // validate it
        var vResults = validateModel( contact );
        // Check it
        if( vResults.hasErrors() ){
            flash.put( "errors", vResults.getAllErrors() );
            return newContact(event,rc,prc);
        }
        else{
            flash.put( "notice", "Contact Created!" );
            setNextEvent("contacts");
        }
    }

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

Now that you have finished, go execute the contacts and interact with it.
