Read Original

This article details the creation of custom ColdFusion functions, `coalesceTruthy()` and `isFalsy()`, to handle value coalescing based on JavaScript's truthy/falsy rules. It addresses the limitations and inconsistencies of the built-in Elvis and null-coalescing operators, especially when dealing with empty strings that are not null.
