CLI Lifecycle

onCLIStart

Announced when shell first starts, but before any commands are run or output has been flushed to the console.

interceptData

  • shellType - The string interactive if starting the interactive shell, or command if running a one-off command and exiting

  • args - An array of arguments provided from the OS when box was executed.

  • banner - A string containing the CommandBox banner text that displays when in interactive mode.

This fires every time the reload command runs and a fresh shell is created.

onCLIExit

Announced right before the shell exits and control is returned back to the OS. This fires every time the reload command runs right before the shell is destroyed and re-created.

onSystemSettingExpansion

Announced every time a system setting in the format of ${something} is expanded. Any interceptor listening can provide an expanded value.

interceptData

  • setting - The name of the setting with the default value removed.

  • defaultValue - The text after the final : or an empty string if there is no default provided

  • resolved - Set this to true if your interceptor expands the value and return true from your interceptor method so CommandBox stops the interceptor chain.

  • context - A struct of values if this system setting is being expanded in the context of a JSON file.
