The LightFront Framework

Switch-based Controllers

I am ./view/home/switchexample.cfm. I was called from ./controller/switch/switch.cfm.

Here's what the switch looks like:

<cfoutput>
	<cfswitch expression="#attributes.fuseaction#">
		<cfcase value="hello">
			#displayView("hello.switchexample")#
		</cfcase>
		<cfcase value="goodbye">
			<cfinclude template="../../view/hello/goodbye.cfm" />
		</cfcase>
		<cfdefaultcase>
			<p>I am switch.#attributes.fuseaction#, and I don't exist.</p>
		</cfdefaultcase>
	</cfswitch>
</cfoutput>

Look familiar? It might. It looks a lot like an old Fusebox 2/3 circuit. That's intentional. LightFront's designed to be a nice bridge between old Fusebox 2/3 application styles. It gives you new functionality, through callEvent() and displayView(), plus relocate() works a lot like <cf_location>.

Notice how I was called via LightFront's displayView() function.

Now, say goodbye.
