Problem:
Currently, CFC metadata obtained from getComponentMetadata or getMetadata exposes all properties/etc inherited from a parent object via the "extends" property, which can also recurse up the tree with no limit (until the base component class is reached). And certainly, this has its place. But I'm starting to think that there are times when you just want an explanation of all available properties/functions/etc, and you don't care whether it comes from the child cfc, or its parent, or the grandparent, and so on.For this reason, I would like to see a "flatten" option added to both of these methods. When false (default), nothing would be different. But when true, all functions/properties/etc would be visible in the root structure returned by the method, and "extends" would just not be there.
Method:
Result:
Enhancement Request: Flatten option for getMetadata and getComponent Metadata functions
