CBWIRE, our ColdBox module that makes building reactive, modern CFML apps delightfully easy, just dropped its 2.1 release. This release contains mostly bug fixes and also the ability to create your UI templates directly within your CBWIRE component using the onRender() method.

We've added an example of using onRender() to our ever growing CBWIRE-Examples Repo that you can run on your machine locally. https://github.com/grantcopley/cbwire-examples

The complete documentation for CBWIRE is available at https://cbwire.ortusbooks.com/.

onRender

Instead of creating a .cfm template, you can define an onRender() method on your component. This method accepts an args argument where data properties and rendered computed properties are passed in.

component extends="cbwire.models.Component" {

    // Data properties
    data = {
        "firstname": "Grant",
        "lastname": "Copley"
    };

    // Computed Properties
    computed = {
        "fullName": function( data ) {
            return data.firstname & " " & data.lastname;
        }
    }

    function onRender( args ) {
        // 'args' contains our rendered data and computed properties
        return "
            <div>
                <h1>Welcome #args.fullName#</h1>
                <h2>Your first name is #args.firstname#</h2>
            </div>
        ";
    }
}

Enhancements

CBWIRE-111 Ability to output component template direct from onRender() method instead of defining a .cfm tempale in views/wires.
