Installation
Before triggering Elixir, you must first ensure that Node.js is installed on your machine. You will want at least the latest LTS version of Node.
node -v
If you generate a ColdBox application using any of our elixir templates then you will find a
package.json file in the root of the application already. Think of this like your box.json file, except it defines Node dependencies instead of ColdFusion (CFML) dependencies. A typical example can look like this:{
"private": true,
"devDependencies": {
"coldbox-elixir": "^4.0.0"
}
}
It defines ColdBox Elixir as a dev dependency. You may then install the dependencies it references by running:
npm install
This will install ColdBox Elixir and its dependencies into the
node_modules folder in your root. This folder has been already added to the .gitignore file as well, so no need to further ignore it.Last modified 1yr ago
