Module Helpers

Every module can declare an array of helper templates that contain methods that will be added as global application helpers. This is a great way to collaborate global functions to the running MVC application.

This is done via the this.applicationHelper directive in your ModuleConfig.cfc. This is an array of relative paths in the module that ColdBox will load as mixins.

this.applicationHelper = [
    "includes/helpers.cfm"
];

Here is a sample of a helpers.cfm:

<cfscript>
    function auth() {
        return wirebox.getInstance( "AuthenticationService@cbauth" );
    }
</cfscript>
