ForgeBox Module of the Week

commandbox-cfformat

Type: CommandBox Module
This module registers a cfformat command in CommandBox that can be used to format CFML components.
At Into the Box a lot of people were playing with this, integrating it with VS Code to format on save, like some Javascript tools. Gone are the days where formatting is the reason your pull request code review gets rejected.
Author: John Berquist
Install: box install commandbox-cfformat
