One of the newest additions to the ColdBox application templates and also the CommandBox generation templates is our REST application template.  This template will get you started with creating ColdBox RESTFul services.

Once you execute these CLI commands, you will have a new RESTFul service application ready to go.  The next step is to startup an ad-hoc server and test it out:
 

box server start --rewritesEnable


This will open a browser window with the results of your first RESTFul service:

Build, Test, and Deploy Your Module with Travis CI

Jon Clausen |  February 15, 2016
