Yes, that's pretty much it at it's essence - you all agree on the names of the variables and their contents, and that becomes the interface/contract/post box number shared by the business logic and the view - you could write it down in some code comments if you wanted it to feel a bit more like a real interface, or you could make a 'model' cfc that you put in the request scope (or even in the session scope if scaling to a cluster is unlikely - I suggested this in my last Webdu talk with stateful view helper cfcs) to make the property names more formal. This is all in complete ignorance of how the more recent versions of Fusebox pass data to the view. But regardless, if I was doing a vanilla MVC-style CF app, I'd be doing the above. > That means I'll have to evaluate() it at run time, a possible > performance hit. I don't see why unless its something Fusebox specific - firstly the variable names shouldn't be changing (that's the point, the model variable names will outlive the current incarnation of the view code so there's no harm in the view hard coding these variable names for the duration of it's relatively short and brutish life), and secondly there's always the [ ] notation for accessing stuff in a scope or struct.
