Description

Returns content that Wheels will send to the client in response to the request.

Examples

// 1. Get the current response content (empty string if nothing has been rendered yet)
content = response();

// 2. Use in a controller test to verify rendered output
// (Wheels populates the response after renderView, renderText, or renderPartial runs)
renderText("Hello, world!");
assert("response() eq 'Hello, world!'");

// 3. Inspect and modify the response before it is sent to the client
currentContent = response();
if (FindNoCase("<!-- debug -->", currentContent)) {
    setResponse(Replace(currentContent, "<!-- debug -->", "", "all"));
}
