Bootstrap for ColdFusion

Simplifying both Bootstrap 3.3.7 and And ColdFusion

Hold the presses!

It is Sept 2018, and the world is a different place

  • ColdFusion is now ColdFusion 2018
  • Bootstrap 4.1x is out. 4.2 will hopefully be out soon
  • Angular, React, and VueJS are coming on strong

I look forward to having a revised approach!

Why is this interesting?

Bootstrap's code looks like tag soup. There are way too may tags in Bootstrap. ColdFusion view code looks tag soup. There are way too may tags in ColdFusion. The two put together are highly unreadable and difficult to debug. This is where custom tags save the day.

BootsFaces for JSF shows the way to a cleaner approach. So what I have done is created a similar library for ColdFusion.

Without Bootstrap for ColdFusion

<cfif showme>	
     <button type="button" class="btn btn-default btn-lg">
         <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-floppy-disk"></i><!-- Don't forget the whitespace here -->
         <cfoutput>#rc.savelabel#<cfoutput>
     </button>
</cfif>

With Bootstrap for ColdFusion

<b:button processed="#showme#" value="#rc.savelabel#" icon="floppy-disk" size="lg" />
