BoxLang Classes and Object-Oriented Programming

Overview

BoxLang classes are defined in .bx files. A class is a blueprint that encapsulates properties (data) and functions/methods (behavior). BoxLang supports single inheritance, multiple interface implementation, abstract classes, and static members.

Basic Class Structure

// File: models/User.bx
class accessors="true" {

    // Properties (auto-generates getters/setters when accessors="true")
    property name="firstName" type="string"
    property name="lastName"  type="string"
    property name="email"     type="string"
    property name="createdAt" type="date"
