• On Always Returning Collections From Data Access Layers (DAL) In ColdFusion

  Posted on Apr 26, 2022 at 2:43 PM

  Personally we return a structure (or a model) for a getOne(:id) and an query (or a store) for a get(:config) (as we dont know how many records there are). then we can use the record directly rather than unwrap it.

  Have to say I'm back in this world as of a year or so again also...
