How ColdFusion framework ONE making view function available in views

Question

I am wondering how framework one (fw1) making `view()` function available in views , like ColdFusion in built functions?.

For example, in the below code , the `view()` function can be called like any ColdFusion in built functions. How fw1 making it possible?.

#view(‘components/contact’)#

The function `view()` has been defined in /framework/one.cfc

But the view function is not application scoped in one.cfc right? And since it is not application scoped , how it is accessible in cfm pages?I shall repeat what I said:store the function as a variable in application scope, it will be available in all CFM pages of the application. test the example I gave you, and you will see it for yourself. Some more code examples, in case you need help to set up a test:TestComponent.cfc testcode1.cfm testcode2.cfm #application.globalView("Abdul L Koyappayil")#

Yes, you can do that in ColdFusion. Irrespective of whether you're using Framework One or not.

You may store a function, just like any other variable, in application scope. It can then be called from any page in the application.

For example, define the following in one of the CFM pages in Views:

<cfscript>
	public string function myView(string caller) {
		return "Hello, #arguments.caller# - go view the World!"
	}
	application.view=myview;	
</cfscript>

Now, if you run

<cfoutput>#application.view('BKBK')#</cfoutput>

anywhere in the application, you will get:

Hello, BKBK - go view the World!
