Mura ORM Events

As covered in the Mura ORM Configuration section, any .CFC's discovered under a "../handlers/" directory within a "model" directory, will automatically be registered as custom event handlers. For example, ../model/handlers/myhandler.cfc.

In the Mura Events section, we learned the various events that are announced during the lifecycle of the application and each request. In addition to the events documented there, Mura also announces special events for basic "CRUD" activities such as when saving, updating, or deleting an entity. To leverage any of these events, you simply add your methods to your custom event handler(s).

The example below illustrates using one of the event handlers.

onBefore{Entity}Save(m) {
// accessing the bean
var bean = m.event('bean');
  // do something here
}

Supported ORM Entity Events

In addition to using an event handler, you could use an ORM Entity Event. The following table lists supported ORM Entity events. You could simply include any these methods in your entity's .CFC to provide custom logic where needed.
