Hi, Firstly I never would pay much attention to opinions a most of the time its more people's habits. But t the cfcommunity suffers from a lot of amateurs that have read design patterns books or think that they should write CF like java.
For me being consistent in your code is important and do what works for you and or your team. I would say cfinclude is fine if you perhaps use a namespace and an alternative extension which indicates to the developer that it should not be executed directly something like fn_helloWorld.inc Your includes don't need to have .cfm extensions and will be parses in the same way. If it works for u go for it A On Thursday, 29 November 2012, Jason Allen <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Guys, > I'm curious about the best practices in regards to using cfinclude statements in a CFC function. > I'm seeing mixed opinions as I google the subject. I have a particular function that includes a script that is lenghty, and if I place the script within the CFC function declaration it triples the size of the CFC. I'd rather keep the script as a separate document, and just cfinclude it within the function declaration. Nothing in the script needs/will be cached, so that's not an issue. > Thoughts? > > -- > online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ > http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en > -- Alex Skinner Managing Director Pixl8 Interactive Tel: +448452600726 Email: [email protected] Web: pixl8.co.uk -- online documentation: http://openbd.org/manual/ http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
