Properties

Properties are new in Simba 2.0.

A property is a method which uses the same syntax as a field to invoke.

There are getter and setter properties which implement read/write. Both are not required - for example you can have a read-only property.

type
  TMyRecord = record
    Str: String;
  end;

property TMyRecord.SomeValue: Integer;
begin
  Result := StrToInt(Self.Str);
end;

property TMyRecord.SomeValue(NewValue: Integer);
begin
  Self.Str := IntToStr(NewValue);
end;

var
  myRecord: TMyRecord;

begin
  myRecord.SomeValue := 123;
  WriteLn myRecord.SomeValue;
end;
