Use the member functions

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 object oriented style. 

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
var myArray = ArrayNew(1);
ArrayAppend(myArray, "objec_new");
ArraySort(myArray, "ASC");

// The new way
myArray.append("objec_new");
myArray.sort("ASC");

// The new way
var myProductObject = createObject("java", "myJavaclass");
myjavaList = myProductObject.getProductList();
myjavaList.add("newProduct"); // Java API

myjavaList.append("newProduct"); // CF API
myjavaList.sort("ASC");
</cfscript>

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,

  • anystruct.append() returns appended structure
  • anyarray.append() returns appended array
