Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
================================
{{#include ../links.md}}
Rhai does not have _objects_ per se, but it is possible to _simulate_ object-oriented programming.
Use [Object Maps] to Simulate OOP
--------------------------------
Rhai's [object maps] has [special support for OOP]({{rootUrl}}/language/object-maps-oop.md).
| Rhai concept | Maps to OOP |
| ----------------------------------------------------- | :---------: |
| [Object maps] | objects |
| [Object map] properties holding values | properties |
| [Object map] properties that hold [function pointers] | methods |
Examples
--------
```rust
// Define the object
let obj = #{
data: 0,
increment: Fn("add"), // when called, 'this' binds to 'obj'
update: Fn("update"), // when called, 'this' binds to 'obj'
action: Fn("action") // when called, 'this' binds to 'obj'
};
// Define functions
fn add(x) { this.data += x; } // update using 'this'
fn update(x) { this.data = x; } // update using 'this'
fn action() { print(this.data); } // access properties of 'this'
// Use the object
obj.increment(1);
obj.action(); // prints 1
obj.update(42);
obj.action(); // prints 42
```
