A lot of enhancements have been made to the core CFML syntax that will aid in developing ColdFusion-based applications elegantly. One of the primary enhancements is the introduction of member functions for data structure and data objects. You can now start coding in a true
For instance, consider the following headless function:
ArrayAppend (empArr, emp) |
It can now be written as:
empArr.append(emp) |
where 'arrayObj' is a reference to the CFArray class.
The following example depicts the new usage of member functions:
//The old way |
Member function for the following data types are supported:
- Array
- String
- List
- Struct
- Date
- Spreadsheet
- XML
- Query
- Image
In the 2016 release of ColdFusion, there is a change in the return type for append member functions. For example,
- nystruct.append() returns appended structure
- anyarray.append() returns appended array
