Use the Store method on a Page object to create a [scratch pad] to store and manipulate data, scoped to the current page. To create a scratch pad with a different [scope], refer to the
scope section below.
Determinate values #
The Store method is often used to set scratch pad values within a shortcode, a partial template called by a shortcode, or by a Markdown render hook. In all three cases, the scratch pad values are indeterminate until Hugo renders the page content.
If you need to access a scratch pad value from a parent template, and the parent template has not yet rendered the page content, you can trigger content rendering by assigning the returned value to a [noop] variable:
{{ $noop := .Content }}
{{ .Store.Get "mykey" }}
You can also trigger content rendering with the ContentWithoutSummary, FuzzyWordCount, Len, Plain, PlainWords, ReadingTime, Summary, Truncated, and WordCount methods. For example:
{{ $noop := .WordCount }}
{{ .Store.Get "mykey" }}
