IsCustomFunction(name)
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
name |
Name of a custom function. Must not be in quotation marks. If not a defined variable or function name, ColdFusion generates an error. |
The IsCustomFunction function returns True for any function that can be called as a custom function, including functions defined using CFScript function declarations and cffunction tags, and functions that are ColdFusion component methods. For CFC methods, first instantiate the component.
Note: To prevent undefined variable exceptions, always precede IsCustomFunction with an IsDefined test, as shown in the example.
Note: This function does not return true if the function was defined using a function expression, eg:
return 1;
}
For functions defined using function expressions, use isClosure().
<cfscript>
// Non-customfunction
n1=1;
n2=1;
sum = n1 + n2;
result = IIf(3 > "#sum#" , DE("Greater"), DE("Lesser"))
writeoutput("Is it a customFunction: " & isCustomFunction(result) & "<br>");
// CustomFunction
function2 = function (sum) {};
writeoutput("Is it a customFunction: " & isCustomFunction(function2));
</cfscript>
