node-cfml

A simple cfml template engine for node.js/express

Introduction

Version 1.0 is out! It's a complete rewrite of what started out as a few regexps quickly thrown together. It is now a decently fast template engine. It uses a static cache, it supports tag nesting, comments, dynamic variable names, etc. It behaves mostly like Coldfusion but it interprets javascript code. (eg: arrays start at 0). Just use it like you would any other express template engine. Enjoy the clean views, the tag completion and color coding ... Using tags for view logic in HTML actually kicks ass.

Support

Only a few CFML tags have been implemented. It wouldn't make sense to use most other CF tags in a view. The implemented tags are:

  • CFSET
  • CFOUTPUT
  • CFIF
  • CFLOOP
  • CFPARAM
  • CFSAVECONTENT
  • CFINCLUDE
  • CFBREAK
  • CFABORT

The implemented CF operators are:

  • EQ, IS
  • NEQ, IS NOT
  • LT
  • GT
  • LTE, LE
  • GTE, GE
  • NOT
  • CONTAINS
  • AND, OR
  • MOD
  • &

You can also use javascript operators directly. The parser will not like the > operator in tags so use GT or GTE in a CFIF tag.

Installation

npm install node-cfml --save

Usage

var express = require('express')
var app = express()
var cfml = require('node-cfml')

app.engine('cfm', cfml.renderFile)
app.set('view engine', 'cfm')
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
	res.render('test.cfm')
})

var server = app.listen(3000, function () {
	var host = server.address().address
	var port = server.address().port

	console.log('Example app listening at http://%s:%s', host, port)
})
