List existing Cache Connections

List existing Cache Connections available

There is now a built in function in Lucee to list existing cache connections but you can also easily do this using the following

/**
* returns all available cache names as an array
*/
array function cacheNames(){
	return getPageContext().getConfig().getCacheConnections().keySet().toArray();
}

This function returns an array containing all cache connections available.

/**
* checks if a cache with the given name is defined
* @cacheName name of the cache to look for
*/
boolean function hasCache(required string cacheName){
	var it=getPageContext().getConfig().getCacheConnections().keySet().iterator();
	loop collection="#it#" item="local.name" {
		if(cacheName.trim()==name) return true;
	}
	return false;
}

This is a variation of this function that checks if a cache with the given name exists.
