Lexicons

Lexicons are a powerful new feature in Fusebox 5+. They allow you to add new verbs to the circuit.xml language.

Here are some example lexicons which create new verbs in Fusebox 5 that duplicate some standard ColdFusion verbs. They are good examples for anyone wanting to learn to write their own lexicons because they are relatively simple. 

To use the verbs, first download them to a folder named cf inside the lexicon folder in your application. Then add the following extra parameter to your circuit.xml file to tell it about the new namespace:

Then to make use of one of these new verbs (cf:abort for example) you simply write:
