I'm currently building my own MVC in ColdFusion 9 (cfscript) and for some reason I am having a little trouble in the Base Model that I have created.
public function init(required itemName){
var columns = {};
var result = '';
var type = '';
var length = '';
var key = '';
var field = '';
var allowNull = '';
setModel(itemName);
this.table = this.model.tableName();
this.qdb = request.qwerkfactory.newQDB();
this.qdb.init(tableName = this.table);
this.qdb.getTableAttributes();
this.result = this.qdb.execute().getResult();
for(i = 1; i LT this.result.recordcount; i++){
result = this.result;
type = ReReplaceNoCase(result['type'][i], '[0-9()]', '', 'all');
length = ReReplaceNoCase(result['type'][i], '[a-z()]', '', 'all');
key = (len(result['key'][i])) ? result['key'][i] : false;
field = result['field'][i];
allowNull = result['null'][i];
columns["#field#"] = {};
columns["#field#"].type = "#type#";
columns["#field#"].length = "#length#";
columns["#field#"].key = "#key#";
columns["#field#"].null = "#allowNull#";
}
setTableAttributes(columns);
return this.model;
}
This is my method that acts as a constructor method for my Model component. What it's doing is geting the table schema for a particular table and then it will return it to a model that inherits this base class. However, I have defined a property for the component called tableColumns, when I set it in a setter method:
public function setTableAttributes(required struct attr){
this.tableColumns = arguments.attr;
}
It sets it fine at this point, when I writeDump() this.tableColumns it returns the correct result. But when using the getter it says tableColumns is undefined in this. What on earth am I doing wrong?
The problem is form your use of the this scope. Properties of CFCs are stored in the variables scope of the CFC..which is different than this.
Simply change your code above to use the variables scope instead of this scope and your getters will work as expected.
