Making the code from the previous article work on both ColdFusion and Lucee

G'day:

A quick one today. I showed just a ColdFusion-only solution to some code in my previous article the other day: "CFML: emulating query-of-query group-by with higher-order functions". I figured when coming up with the completed code in a runnable example, I should make it work on both platforms. Here it is.

<cfscript>
function getUngroupedRecords(required numeric rows) {
    createRows = (number) => repeatString(",", rows).listToArray(",", true)
    date = () => now().add("d", randRange(-365, 365))
    amount = () => randRange(1,10000) / 100

    fakedDbData = queryNew(
        "settlementDate,LongTermGainLoss,ShortTermGainLoss",
        "Date,Double,Double",
        createRows(rows).map((_) => [date(), amount(), amount()])
    )
    return fakedDbData
}
ungroupedRecords = getUngroupedRecords(20)
writeDump(ungroupedRecords)

groupedRecords = ungroupedRecords.reduce((grouped={}, row) => {
    y = row.settlementDate.year()
    m = row.settlementDate.month()
    key = "#y#-#m#"
    grouped[key] = grouped[key] ?: {stgl = 0, ltgl = 0}
    grouped[key].stgl = grouped[key].stgl + row.ShortTermGainLoss
    grouped[key].ltgl = grouped[key].ltgl + row.LongTermGainLoss

    return grouped
}).reduce(
    (records, key, values) => {
        records.addRow({
            month = key.listLast("-"),
            year = key.listFirst("-"),
            ltgl = values.ltgl,
            stgl = values.stgl
        })
        return records
    },
    queryNew("month,year,ltgl,stgl", "Integer,Integer,Double,Double")
).sort((r1, r2) => {
    yearDiff = r1.year - r2.year
    if (yearDiff != 0) {
        return yearDiff
    }
    return r1.month - r2.month
})

writeDump(groupedRecords)
</cfscript>

Some notes on that:

• I was using ColdFusion-only syntax for arrow functions with only one parameter: CF - correctly - does not require parentheses for the function signature here. Lucee however does, so I added them.
• As previously-mentioned, Lucee didn't like arrayNew(1).resize(number) here, so I've changed it to being a bit shit, but at least it works on Lucee.
• Lucee still doesn't return the updated query from Query.addRow, it returns the number of rows added (as per queryAddRow). ColdFusion changed this back in CF2018, so Lucee has some catch-up to do here. Anyway I needed to split this into two statements to make it work on Lucee.
• Originally I had the sort callback as one expression to demonstrate a "trick" with variable assignment expressions, but whilst this worked in Lucee, ColdFusion choked on it. The callback was: (r1, r2) => (yearDiff = r1.year - r2.year) ? yearDiff : r1.month - r2.month. This pushed well past the bounds of what is clearly understandable, and I think the long-hand version I used is better code. But it was a bug in ColdFusion that the short version didn't work.

Anyway… this version of the code works on both ColdFusion and Lucee.

Righto.
