# ColdBox Request Context ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when working with the ColdBox `RequestContext` event object in handlers to manage request data, view rendering, HTTP info, and flash messaging. ## 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 `RequestContext` (event object) is: - The central object for every ColdBox request - Injects into every handler action as `event` - Contains `rc` (public request collection) and `prc` (private collection) - Has methods for view rendering, relocation, headers, and HTTP introspection ## Request Collection Access ```boxlang function handler( event, rc, prc ) { // ----- Reading rc (public request collection) ----- var id = rc.id ?: 0 var search = rc.search ?: "" var page = rc.page ?: 1 // G
