CFTAGS and CFSCRIPT counterparts?

[jscnet]

Trying to find a matrix or anything that describes which CFTAGS have equivalent CFSCRIPT counterparts?   I was under the impression that all tags in 2016 have cfscript counterparts, however CFCONTENT and CFHEADER do not seem to have cfscript versions?  

A list of what is or isn't supported in cfscript would be ideal.

Thanks.

CFCONTENT and CFHEADER do not have CFSCRIPT equivalents.

Hopefully, Adobe will address this issue.  But I'm not holding my breath.

V/r,

Language (attitudes) like this makes you look pretty dumb.   Remove it and I'll consider marking yours as the answer.   Leave it, and look like an asshole to all who read it.

Adobe has a history of ignoring bugs, or marking them as closed without actually fixing anything.  Just look at Adobe Bug Tracker, and you'll see.

Don't like my attitude toward Adobe?  Don't respond to anything I post. Simple.

It wasn't taken to be toward Adobe., but none-the-less, the attitude still persists.    I would suggest you edit the post and remove the comment all-together.  I would then suggest you get out of the house and practice communicating with humans more often.

Get a life and stop trying to run mine.

And the attitude still persists. 

while (true) {

    cfloop (attitude in WolfShade) {

        if (attitude.terseResponses == "challenged") {

            writeOutput("more terse responses");

        }

    }

}

You're stuck in a loop.     CTRL-ALT-DEL

[WolfShade]

The attitude isn't going away, especially when you keep stabbing with YOUR terse responses.  That means you're stuck in the loop, too.

cfheader and cfcontent DO have script equivalents, aptly named:

cfheader() and cfcontent()

example:

cfheader (name="Hello", value="10");

Just FYI for future questions like this, I've done my best to document CFScript thoroughly here: https://github.com/adamcameron/cfscript/blob/master/cfscript.md

There is a general form form tag->script:

To use any other functionality not listed here within CFScript, one needs to use the generalised syntax.

On Railo/Lucee this is a matter of removing the "<cf" and the ">", and using normal block syntax (curly braces) where the tag-version is a block-oriented tag.

On ColdFusion (CF11+), replace the "<cftagname" with "cftagname(", and the ">" with ")", and comma-separate the attributes.

Adam, this is outstanding, great job!   The ultimate cheet-sheet (if you will).      I actually stumbled across cfdocs.org, it is an excellent resource too and when searching for a TAG the CFSCRIPT version is shown also.

Hi Adam,

I went to your cfscript link above but I couldn't find the equivalent of CFCONTENT.  And it's not listed in the 'no equivalent' sections either. If there is a cfscript equivalent what is the actual syntax/example?

Hello, fox2,

I believe that this link should be able to provide you with information related to using CFSCRIPT.

V/r,

[fox2]

Thanks @wolfshade but I am actually after CFCONTENT equivalent in cfscript. I couldn't find it in the link you gave me. The actual syntax (or examples) seems to be very rare in the web. All I can find are tag-based syntax. 

[WolfShade]

A quick Google search found this:  https://cfdocs.org/cfcontent

Examples of both tag and script use cases.

HTH,

[fox2]

Ahh yes thanks! Good find.
