Using Lambda Functions To Short-Circuit Control Flow In ColdFusion

Read Original

This technical article discusses using guard statements and short-circuiting for cleaner code in ColdFusion. It addresses a common problem where short-circuiting can skip necessary post-processing logic, like setting up view data after a form submission. The solution demonstrates using Immediately Invoked Function Expressions (IIFEs) and Lambda functions to quarantine and control the flow, allowing for early returns without breaking the entire controller execution.
