Adding Coldbox MVC framework to your project
Starting out with adding ColdBox MVC framework to your project? Than have a look at these templates to get you started coldbox-templates · GitHub. Or take the 60 minute quick start:
Fixinator to find and fix security vulnerabilities in your CFML code
Have a legacy codebase you want to fix, or want to add a code checker to your CI pipeline? Than the Fixanator tool is something to look at.

TIL: Compound Assignment Operators in CFML (+= and more)
Okay, so this is slightly embarrassing, in that I’m writing about a “feature” that was added in ColdFusion 8… so, over 11 years ago. I’m talking about the compound assignment operators:
+=,-=,*=,/=, and%=.

@Zackster hmm… that’s pretty interesting little tidbit I wasn’t aware of either… think i might have to throw it into some code today

A Quick Example Of Functional Programming (FP) In CFML
I was adding a feature to CommandBox CLI this week when I typed up some code that iterated over the keys in a struct, filtering out the ones it needed and then performed an action on the matching ones. I used the functional methods structFilter() and structEach() in CFML. They are an example of functional programming as they accept functions as input. This also means we can call them "higher order functions. But termininology aside, I typed up the same code using an older interactive approach just to compare the two. It was an interesting and rather self contained example so I thought I’d share it as a real life use case for FP (functional programming).

.filter( ( k, v ) => k != 'scriptName' )
.each( ( k, v ) => systemSettings.setSystemSetting( k, v ) );

So much CFML goodness this month. Could there be a renaissance in CFML blogging?
Let’s hope it continues through July!
