The `Store` method on a `Page` object creates a persistent [scratch pad] to store and manipulate data. In contrast with the [`Scratch`] method, the scratch pad created by the `Store` method is not reset on server rebuilds.

To create a locally scoped scratch pad that is not attached to a `Page` object, use the [`newScratch`] function.

## Methods

Set
: Sets the value of a given key.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.Set "greeting" "Hello" }}
```

Get
: Gets the value of a given key.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.Set "greeting" "Hello" }}
{{ .Store.Get "greeting" }} → Hello
```

Add
: Adds a given value to existing value(s) of the given key.

: 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.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.Set "greeting" "Hello" }}
{{ .Store.Add "greeting" "Welcome" }}
{{ .Store.Get "greeting" }} → HelloWelcome
```

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.Set "total" 3 }}
{{ .Store.Add "total" 7 }}
{{ .Store.Get "total" }} → 10
```

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.Set "greetings" (slice "Hello") }}
{{ .Store.Add "greetings" (slice "Welcome" "Cheers") }}
{{ .Store.Get "greetings" }} → [Hello Welcome Cheers]
```

SetInMap
: Takes a `key`, `mapKey` and `value` and adds a map of `mapKey` and `value` to the given `key`.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.SetInMap "greetings" "english" "Hello" }}
{{ .Store.SetInMap "greetings" "french" "Bonjour" }}
{{ .Store.Get "greetings" }} → map[english:Hello french:Bonjour]
```

DeleteInMap
: Takes a `key` and `mapKey` and removes the map of `mapKey` from the given `key`.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.SetInMap "greetings" "english" "Hello" }}
{{ .Store.SetInMap "greetings" "french" "Bonjour" }}
{{ .Store.DeleteInMap "greetings" "english" }}
{{ .Store.Get "greetings" }} → map[french:Bonjour]
```

GetSortedMapValues
: Returns an array of values from `key` sorted by `mapKey`.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.SetInMap "greetings" "english" "Hello" }}
{{ .Store.SetInMap "greetings" "french" "Bonjour" }}
{{ .Store.GetSortedMapValues "greetings" }} → [Hello Bonjour]
```

Delete
: Removes the given key.

```go-html-template
{{ .Store.Set "greeting" "Hello" }}
{{ .Store.Delete "greeting" }}
```
