Is there a way to make isDevMode, devModeToEmailAddress, devModeFromEmailAddress to be private properites?

Code:

/**
* email
* @accessors true
*/
component email output="false" hint="This is email object." {

/* properties */
property name="toEmailAddress"   type="string";
property name="fromEmailAddress" type="string";
property name="subject"          type="string";
property name="body"             type="string";
property name="attachments"      type="array";

/*
private isDevMode
private devModeToEmailAddress
private devModeFromEmailAddress
*/

    You can add setter="false" and getter="false" to prevent getters and setters, but you can’t restrict access to the properties directly. Your best bet is put those into your constructor in the component’s local scope.

    /**
* email
* @accessors true
*/
component email output="false" hint="This is email object." {

isDevMode = false;
devModeToEmailAddress = "foo@foo.com";
devModeFromEmailAddress = "bar@foo.com";

/* properties */
property name="toEmailAddress"   type="string";
property name="fromEmailAddress" type="string";
property name="subject"          type="string";
property name="body"             type="string";
property name="attachments"      type="array";


}

    Then, when you need to use those, just reference variables.isDevMode in any function to pick up the value. If you need to set those at runtime, you can set them in the init() method for your function. I usually do it like this:

    component email output="false" hint="This is email object." {

    instance = {};

    /* properties */
    property name="toEmailAddress"   type="string";
    property name="fromEmailAddress" type="string";
    property name="subject"          type="string";
    property name="body"             type="string";
    property name="attachments"      type="array";


    public email function(required boolean isDevMode, required string devModeToEmailAddress, required string devModeFromEmailAddress){

        variables.Instance.isDevMode = Arguments.isDevMode;
        variables.Instance.devModeToEmailAddress = Arguments.devModeToEmailAddress;
        variables.Instance.devModeFromEmailAddress = Arguments.devModeFromEmailAddress;

    {

}

    Then, any time I need those values I just get variables.Instance.isDevMode. I also create a generic get() method that will return the variables.instance so I can see what’s in there.

    public struct function get(){
    return Duplicate(variables.Instance);
}

    But because these are in the components local variables scope, they can’t be modified from outside the component.
