Use the tag "method-chaining' if referring to the invocation of multiple methods against a single object. Chaining is the general idea of linking many smaller processes together to form a large process.
Method Chaining allows you to run multiple methods against an object on one line of code.
For example in Java the methods setName
and setAge
are chained:
Person person = new Person(); //instantiate a new person object.
person.setName("Peter").setAge(21); //set the name, and age of object person.
First the method setName is applied to the object, then setAge.
Each method returns an object, allowing any number of calls to be chained together in a single statement.
