Action

By Goblin Docs ~ 6 min read

Action declares an action.

Overview

action is an alias for act.

It creates callable logic exactly the same way.

action greet(name)
    :say("Hello, {name}!")
xx

action greet(name)
    :say("Hello, {name}!")
xx

Calling the action:

greet("Goblin")

greet("Goblin")

Output:

Hello, Goblin!

Hello, Goblin!

The following examples are identical:

act greet(name)
    :say("Hello!")
xx

act greet(name)
    :say("Hello!")
xx

action greet(name)
    :say("Hello!")
xx

action greet(name)
    :say("Hello!")
xx

Goblin documentation generally uses act because it is shorter.
