OOP & ColdFusion
Nolan Erck
Friday, September 29, 2023 @ 12 PM HAST (Hawaii Standard Time)

Object-Oriented Programming is common term in programming language. It’s a vast concept but to sum it up in a single line, it is a set of concepts and techniques that make use of the “object” construct, to write more reusable, maintainable, and organized code. Objects are implemented differently in every language. In ColdFusion, we have ColdFusion Components (CFCs) that can be instantiated to create objects.

Anyone who has ever studied OOP must know that there are four main concepts, which are:

• Abstraction
• Encapsulation
• Inheritance
• Polymorphism

08/28/2023 - Blog - Grant Copley - DataTable Example with CBWIRE

Hey everyone,

I’ve been quiet lately but CBWIRE is still receiving many updates, and I’m very excited about the road ahead. I wanted to share that I’ve put together a fully functional DataTable implemented almost entirely in CFML using CBWIRE.

The DataTable has the following features that were built from the ground up:

Single CBWIRE Component ( wires/Datatable.cfm - provides all functionality )
List NES games
Set the number of games displayed per page
Pagination
Reset button to start over
Click anywhere on the row to select a game
Select all games listed
Search field to match any column
Sort columns by ascending or descending
Select games by checkbox
Shift+Click to select multiple games
Favorite games(s) w/ confirmation
The repo has everything you need, including an already-seeded Sqlite database with NES Game data. Just run a couple of commands ( noted in the README ) and give it a try. :smiley:

Enjoy!
