Parameters

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. |
Usage
The IsCustomFunction function returns True for any function that can be called as a custom function, including functions defined using CFScript function declarations, CFScript function expressions, 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.
For functions defined using function expressions, use isClosure().
Example
<cfscript>
// CustomFunction
function2 = function (sum) {};
writeoutput("Is it a customFunction: " & isCustomFunction(function2));
</cfscript>
Output
Is it a customFunction: YES
