# Class Static

Static class methods are defined on the class itself.

You cannot call a `static` method on an object, only on an object class.

 

### Example

      `class Car {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  static hello() {
    return "Hello!!";
  }
}

let myCar = new Car("Ford");

// You can calll 'hello()' on the Car Class:
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Car.hello();

// But NOT on a Car Object:
// document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = myCar.hello();
// this will raise an error.`

If you want to use the myCar object inside the `static` method, you can send it as a parameter:

### Example

      `class Car {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
  static hello(x) {
    return "Hello " + x.name;
  }
}
let myCar = new Car("Ford");
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = Car.hello(myCar);`        [https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fapprentice.mn%2Fdocs%2Fclass-static%2F&linkname=Class%20Static](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/facebook?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fapprentice.mn%2Fdocs%2Fclass-static%2F&linkname=Class%20Static)[https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/mastodon?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fapprentice.mn%2Fdocs%2Fclass-static%2F&linkname=Class%20Static](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/mastodon?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fapprentice.mn%2Fdocs%2Fclass-static%2F&linkname=Class%20Static)[https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fapprentice.mn%2Fdocs%2Fclass-static%2F&linkname=Class%20Static](https://www.addtoany.com/add_to/email?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fapprentice.mn%2Fdocs%2Fclass-static%2F&linkname=Class%20Static)[https://www.addtoany.com/share](https://www.addtoany.com/share)
