`Scratch` -- a "scratchpad" for your node- or page-scoped variables. In most cases you can do well without `Scratch`, but there are some use cases that aren't solvable with Go's templates without `Scratch`'s help, due to scoping issues.
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Scratch` is added to both `Node` and `Page` -- with the three methods `Set`, `Get` and `Add`. `Set` and `Add` takes a `key` and the `value` to add. Get returns the `value` for the `key` given.
|
|
|
|
`Set` can store values of any type. `Add` accepts values that support Go's `+` operator.
|
|
|
|
The scope of the backing data is global for the given `Node` or `Page`, and spans partial and shortcode includes.
|
|
|
|
## Sample usage
|
|
|
|
The usage is best illustrated with some samples:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Add "a1" 12 }}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Get "a1" }} {{/* => 12 */}}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Add "a1" 1 }}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Get "a1" }} // {{/* => 13 */}}
|
|
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Add "a2" "AB" }}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Get "a2" }} {{/* => AB */}}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Add "a2" "CD" }}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Get "a2" }} {{/* => ABCD */}}
|
|
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Set "v1" 123 }}
|
|
{{ $.Scratch.Get "v1" }} {{/* => 123 */}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Note:** The examples above uses the special `$` variable, which refers to the top-level node. This is the behavior you most likely want, and will help remove some confusion when using `Scratch` inside page range loops -- and you start inadvertently calling the wrong `Scratch`. But there may be use cases for `{{ .Scratch.Add "key" "some value" }}`.
