CommandBox command to compile CFML
To compile a folder src and write the compiled files into a compiled folder using lucee 5.3.5:
box cfcompile sourcePath=./src destPath=./compiled cfengine=lucee@5.3.5
Suppose now that you are building a docker container, or a CFML Lambda Function you don't need the source files, and you will eliminate the time it takes Lucee to compile your CFML on the first request:
box cfcompile sourcePath=./src --overwrite cfengine=lucee@5.3.5
Currently only Lucee is supported. You should always specify a CFML engine that exactly matches the version that your code will run on. This way if there are any changes to the lucee compiler in a future version you won't run into incompatibale compiled classes.
