Standard Events

As previously discussed, events prefixed with "standard" are points where you can replace Mura's business logic and functionality. To view their method definitions, and what they're doing specifically, open the file located under {context}/requirements/mura/Handler/standardEventsHandler.cfc. You can also view these methods via Mura's Component API at http://www.getmura.com/component-api/7.0/index.html?mura/Handler/standardEventsHandler.html.

There are three primary suffixes for "standard" events:

• validator
  • Validators inspect the "event" or "request" itself, and forward the request/event to the appropriate handler, if necessary.
• handler
  • Handlers usually set values in the "global event", or redirect the user somewhere.
• translator
  • Translators check to see if the requested returnformat is JSON, and if so, utilizes Mura's JSON API to handle the request.
