coldfusion Scopes in Coldfusion Common scopes
Example
Mostly you're probably working with these scopes:
- Variables scope is the scope where all variables are assigned to when nothing else is intentionally declared (like the
windowscope in JavaScript). - Form scope When you send a form to your server, all the form fields which can be identified (by setting the name/id property) are accessible in this scope for further server-side processing.
- URL scope All url query params are stored in that scope
- this scope Inside a component the
thisrefers to the component itself - local scope Variables declared inside a function using the
localstatement are encapsulated and only accessible inside that specific function (this is made to avoid pollution of other sopes) - Arguments scope Arguments passed to a function inside a component declared by the
cfargumenttag are accessible with that scope
