# ColdBox Event Model ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when working with the ColdBox request lifecycle, event object, request collections, view rendering, and response management. ## Language Mode Reference Examples use **BoxLang (`.bx`)** syntax by default. Adapt for your target language: | Concept | BoxLang (`.bx`) | CFML (`.cfc`) | |---------|-----------------|---------------| | Class declaration | `class [extends="..."] {` | `component [extends="..."] {` | | DI annotation | `@inject` above `property name="svc";` | `property name="svc" inject="svc";` | | View templates | `.bxm` suffix | `.cfm` / `.cfml` suffix | | Tag prefix | `<bx:if>`, `<bx:output>`, `<bx:set>` | `<cfif>`, `<cfoutput>`, `<cfset>` | > **CFML Compat Mode**: With BoxLang + CFML Compat module, `.bx` and `.cfc` files coexist freely. BoxLang-native classes use `class {}` (`.bx` files); CFML-compat classes use `component {}` (`.cfc` files). ## Core Concepts The ColdBox event model consists of: - **Event Object** (`event`) — the `RequestContext` instance per request - **Request Collection** (`rc`) — public request data (merged GET + POST + URL params) - **Private Request Collection** (`prc`) — private handler-to-view data store - **View Rendering** — `event.setView()` for HTML, `event.renderData()` for data - **Relocations** — `relocate()` for redirects ## Request Collections ```boxlang function index( event, rc, prc ) { // rc = public request collection (from URL, FORM, etc.) var user
