.Scratch

Acts as a "scratchpad" to allow for writable page- or shortcode-scoped variables.

/doc/scratch/

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.

{{% note %}} See this Go issue for the main motivation behind Scratch. {{% /note %}}

Scratch is added to both Page and Shortcode -- with following methods:

Set and Add takes a key and the value to add.
Get returns the value for the key given.
SetInMap takes a key, mapKey and value
GetSortedMapValues returns array of values from key sorted by mapKey

Set and SetInMap can store values of any type.

For single values, Add accepts values that support Go's + operator. If the first Add for a key is an array or slice, the following adds will be appended to that list.

The scope of the backing data is global for the given Page or Shortcode, and spans partial and shortcode includes.

Note that .Scratch from a shortcode will return the shortcode's Scratch, which in most cases is what you want. If you want to store it in the page scroped Scratch, then use .Page.Scratch.

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.Add "l1" (slice "A" "B") }}
{{ $.Scratch.Get "l1" }} {{/* => [A B]  */}}
{{ $.Scratch.Add "l1" (slice "C" "D") }}
{{ $.Scratch.Get "l1" }} {{/* => [A B C D] */}}

{{ $.Scratch.Set "v1" 123 }}
{{ $.Scratch.Get "v1" }}  {{/* => 123 */}}

{{ $.Scratch.SetInMap "a3" "b" "XX" }}
{{ $.Scratch.SetInMap "a3" "a" "AA" }}
{{ $.Scratch.SetInMap "a3" "c" "CC" }}
{{ $.Scratch.SetInMap "a3" "b" "BB" }}
{{ $.Scratch.GetSortedMapValues "a3" }} {{/* => []interface {}{"AA", "BB", "CC"} */}}

{{% 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" }}. {{% /note %}}
