wheels-base-template

A blank, ready-to-boot Wheels application.

Recommended path: install the Wheels CLI (Homebrew / Scoop / apt / yum) and run wheels new myapp. The CLI substitutes app settings for you and is the canonical, fully documented workflow. This ForgeBox package exists for CommandBox users who prefer box install; it ships pre-substituted working defaults so it boots with no manual edits.

As an Application

This is a starting point for a modern Wheels application. It uses the same scaffold wheels new produces, so a box install-born app and a CLI-born app are structurally identical.

As a ForgeBox Package

This package contains the app skeleton only. The framework core is pulled in via a dependency on wheels-core:

"dependencies":{
  "wheels-core":"4.0.3"
}

The core files land in vendor/wheels/ per these settings:

"installPaths":{
  "wheels-core":"vendor/wheels/"
}

To Install

You'll need a running CommandBox installation. Then install this package into an empty directory:

box
mkdir myapp --cd
install wheels-base-template

This can be shortened to a single command run in an empty directory:

box install wheels-base-template

Then boot the server (CommandBox reads the bundled server.json):

box server start

GET / renders the Wheels welcome page. To reload after config changes, hit ?reload=true (the reload password defaults to empty in development — set reloadPassword in config/settings.cfm for other environments).
