BoxLang Component Development

Overview

BoxLang components (also called "custom tags") are reusable markup-oriented units invoked with tag-like syntax in .bxm templates. Unlike classes, components are designed for output generation and template composition. They live in the components/ directory of a module and are registered globally when the module loads.

BoxLang Component Syntax — NOT CFML

All built-in and custom components in BoxLang use the bx: prefix. Never use cf-prefixed functions or tags — those are CFML, not BoxLang.
