Lifecycle Methods
Every module follows a sequence of steps when it is loaded and unloaded. Modules are automatically loaded for you when CommandBox starts up, but here are some ways for a module to affect how it loads.
Life-cycle Events
There are two life-cycle callback events you can declare in your ModuleConfig.cfc
:
onLoad()
- Called when the module is loaded and activatedonUnLoad()
- Called when the module is unloaded from memory
This gives you great hooks for you to do bootup and shutdown procedures for this specific module.
Custom Events
The ModuleConfig.cfc
object itself is an interceptor so you can declare all of the CLI's interception points in the configuration object and they will be registered as interceptors.
