If it's not mentioned, the reader could not change code inside showStep() and then, showStep() could be just the last call of the statement.

# Chaining
|
|
|
|
There's a `ladder` object that allows to go up and down:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
let ladder = {
|
|
step: 0,
|
|
up() {
|
|
this.step++;
|
|
},
|
|
down() {
|
|
this.step--;
|
|
},
|
|
showStep: function() { // shows the current step
|
|
alert( this.step );
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now, if we need to make several calls in sequence, can do it like this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
ladder.up();
|
|
ladder.up();
|
|
ladder.down();
|
|
ladder.showStep(); // 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Modify the code of `up`, `down` and `showStep` to make the calls chainable, like this:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
ladder.up().up().down().showStep(); // 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Such approach is widely used across JavaScript libraries.
