Although that's not why I use switch-case constructs anyway... heh...
I use them because they're easier to read. Although I use the cfscript
switch-case constructs for "cascading" logic -- which isn't really
available with <cfswitch>...
switch (arraylen(arguments)) {
case "0": { arg1 = "default1"; }
case "1": { arg2 = "default2"; }
case "2": { arg3 = "default3"; }
}
Not a great example, but it works... Not a great example because I've
actually stopped using this method lately in favor of an
ArrayToStruct() function...
function ArrayToStruct(ar,keys) {
var st = structnew();
var x = 0; var last = 0;
keys = listtoarray(keys);
last = max(arraylen(ar),arraylen(keys));
for (x = 1; x lte last; x = x + 1) {
st[keys[x]] = ar[x];
} return st;
}
myargs = ArrayToStruct(somearray,"arg1,arg2,arg3");
then I use <cfparam> or equivalent to create my defaults.
It's not really necessary with <cffunction> but I still like to write
functions with cfscript when I can. Just a quirky syntactical
preference of mine -- I don't have to explicitly state output="false"
among other things. I've gotten into the habbit of creating a var'ed
structure to store local variables in the function also, so I don't
have to var everything I use in the function as long as I'm putting my
local variables in that structure. It's useful for some of the larger
/ more complex functions. Although at this point I'm just rambling. :)
