Workaround for param in Open BlueDragon

Open BlueDragon 2.0.2, does not support:

param rc.nodeid = "";

In particular the param part does not work

What is a good workaround?

Solution

  • Although I'm not familiar with BD, each of these options should work:

    Ternary operator:

    rc.nodeid = structKeyExists( rc, "nodeid" ) ? rc.nodeid : "";

    Normal if/else statement:

    if( !structKeyExists( rc, "nodeid" ) ) {
    rc.nodeid = "";
}

    Personally, I prefer the ternary operator because it's almost as concise as param, but you will be sacrificing some readability for those who are unfamiliar with it.

    EDIT: I went and had a look at BD's documentation. It looks like BD requires the "name" attribute, so you should be able to do this:

    param name="rc.nodeid" default="";
