# Object Run

In addition to schemas, Stof's capabilities also present an interesting abstraction above the functional layer - executing entire objects as tasks.

This is accomplished with the `Obj.run(..)` function in the [Object Library (Obj)](/libraries/type-libraries/object-library-obj.md), which executes all `#[run]` functions and fields, optionally in a user-specified order.

```rust
#[type]
Task: {
    ok: false
    result: null
    config: {
        endpoint: "https://myendpoint"
        schema: {
            // some schema to apply to the result
        }
    }
    
    #[run]
    fn exec() {
        const res = await Http.fetch(self.config.endpoint);
        
        const result = new {};
        parse(res.remove("text"), result, "json");
        
        self.ok = self.config.schema.schemafy(result);
        self.result = result;
    }
}

#[main]
fn main() {
    const task = new Task {
        config: new {
            endpoint: 'https://restcountries.com/v3.1/region/europe'
        }
    };
    task.run();

    assert(task.ok);
    for (const country in task.result.field) {
        pln(country.name);
    }
}
```

## Ordering

```rust
#[run]
Task: {
    out: []

    #[run(1)]
    fn first() {
        self.out.push_back(1);
    }

    #[run(2)]
    fn second() {
        self.out.push_back(2);
    }

    #[run(3)]
    fn third() {
        self.out.push_back(3);
    }
}

#[main]
fn main() {
    self.run();
    assert_eq(self.Task.out, [1, 2, 3]);
}
```

## Running Fields

```rust
#[run]
Task: {
    fn testing() {
        self.SubTask.out.push_back(55);
    }

    #[run(1)]
    pipeline: [
        {
            #[run]
            fn cool() {
                super.SubTask.out.push_back(42);
            }
        },
        self.testing,
    ]

    #[run(3)]
    field: self.testing

    #[run(2)]
    SubTask: {
        out: []

        #[run(1)]
        fn first() {
            self.out.push_back(1);
        }

        #[run(2)]
        fn second() {
            self.out.push_back(2);
        }

        #[run(3)]
        fn third() {
            self.out.push_back(3);
        }
    }
}

#[main]
fn main() {
    self.run();
    assert_eq(self.Task.SubTask.out, [42, 55, 1, 2, 3, 55]);
}
```

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stof.dev/common-patterns/object-run.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
