ColdBox Syntax Dictionaries

In this guide, you will learn how to install the ColdBox Syntax Dictionaries for CFEclipse and Dreamweaver.

CFEclipse Dictionary

Thanks to CFEclipse you can have custom language dictionaries loaded right into your editor. Thus, I created the language dictionary for The ColdBox Framework. You can download it via the link below or just download the ColdBox Bundle package that includes all the IDE extras:

http://www.coldbox.org/index.cfm/download/extras

This will provide you with function insight to every method a handler/plugin/layout and view inherit. You will also have insight into the controller object, the event object or the rc scope if you define one.

Installation

Download the above zip file, expand it and you will have a coldbox.xml file.
Exit Eclipse or make sure it is not opened
Browse to < eclipse install path >/plugins/org.cfeclipse.cfml_<version number>/dictionary/ and move coldbox.xml into that directory.
open up the dictionaryconfig.xml file that is in that directory and add the following XML above in each version of coldfusion you would like ColdBox insight into. Look at sample below:

<version key="cf8" label="Coldfusion 8">
	<grammar location="cf8.xml" />
	<grammar location="user.xml" />
	<grammar location="coldbox.xml" />
</version>
<version key="cfmx701" label="Coldfusion 7.01">
	<grammar location="cfml7.xml" />
	<grammar location="user.xml" />
	<grammar location="coldbox.xml" />
</version>
<version key="bd70" label="BlueDragon 7.0">
	<grammar location="cfmlBD70.xml" />
	<grammar location="user.xml" />
	<grammar location="coldbox.xml" />
</version>
