Code Example
As an example, let's create a loop from index 1 to 10. Once the index value is greater than or equal to 5, the cfbreak
tag will be executed and break out of the loop, halting further output:
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="10">
<cfoutput>#i#</cfoutput>
<cfif i gte 5>
<cfbreak>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
The resulting output will be:
1 2 3 4 5
Script Syntax
Here is the script syntax version to achieve the same output:
<cfscript>
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
writeOutput(i);
if (i >= 5) {
break;
}
}
</cfscript>
Conclusion
That's it! cfbreak
is highly useful for flow control and instances where you need to halt processing in a loop.
