In JavaScript, a method is a function that’s associated with an object. When you want to call a method in JavaScript, you need to follow a specific syntax. In this blog post, we will walk through the steps to call a method in JavaScript.
Step 1: Create an Object
First, you need to create an object that contains the method you want to call. For example, let’s create an object named person
with a method called sayHello
:
const person = {
name: "John",
age: 25,
sayHello: function() {
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name} and I'm ${this.age} years old.`);
}
};
In the above code, we define the person
object with properties name
and age
, and a method sayHello
which logs a greeting message with the person’s name and age.
Step 2: Call the Method
Once you have the object with the method, you can call it using the dot notation. In our example, to call the sayHello
method on the person
object, you would write:
person.sayHello();
The above code will invoke the sayHello
method and print the following message to the console:
Hello, my name is John and I'm 25 years old.
Conclusion
Calling a method in JavaScript requires creating an object and using the dot notation to invoke the method. By following the steps outlined in this blog post, you can successfully call methods within your JavaScript code.
