These settings affect how CommandBox loads modules.
array
You can store CommandBox modules outside of the default installation directory. This may be useful to point to modules you are developing or to keep custom modules around even if CommandBox gets uninstalled.
config set ModulesExternalLocation=[\"/var/my/external/modules\"]
config show ModulesExternalLocation
array
An array of module names to load. Be careful of using this setting as once you set it, no other modules will be loaded which includes all of CommandBox's core modules.
config set modulesInclude=[\"moduleName\",\"anotherModuleName\"]
config show modulesInclude
array
An array of module names NOT to load. This can be useful when you have an installed module that's erroring on load and preventing CommandBox from starting up.
config set ModulesExclude=[\"moduleName\",\"anotherModuleName\"]
config show ModulesExclude
struct
When you install a CommandBox module, it may contain settings that affect how it works. Don't edit the CFML code in the module, instead use the config set
command to create config settings that will override the module's defaults. The pattern is modules.moduleName.settingName
.
config set modules.TestModule.mySetting=overridden
config set modules.TestModule.somethingEnabled=false
When a module is loaded, the config settings (that exist) for that module are loaded as well. Any time you set a new module setting, that setting will be loaded into memory immediately for that module.
You can easily see what settings are set for our TestModule
like so:
config show modules.TestModule
