Can I call a custom tag in cfscript?

Question

For example, if I have a custom tag like <cf_AppSwitch action="Check"> my assumption would be something like AppSwitch(action="Check"), but I am not certain CF can resolve that as a custom tag.

The other solution I can think of would be to write a wrapper function and call my custom tag, but that feels redundant.

It seems like I am oversimplifying a much more complex problem, so any insight would be appreciated (even as to why this is not/should not be supported).

Assuming you are using Adobe CF, unfortunately the answer is no. You have to write a wrapper function that is CFML-based. For example:

<cffunction name="myCustomTag">
  <cfset var returnVal = "">
  <cfsavecontent variable="returnVal"><cf_myCustomTag attributeCollection=arguments></cfsavecontent>
  <cfreturn returnVal>
</cffunction>

<cfscript>
 myCustomTag(a="b");
</cfscript>

Now, if you are using Railo, you could use the cfscript equivalent to the <cfmodule> tag:

<cfscript>
    module name="myCustomTag";
</cfscript>
