Module:Static

This module returns a table that can store data that persists in between multiple {{#Invoke:}} calls.

Example:

localp={}

functionp.main()
localstatic=require('Module:Static')
static.x=(static.xor0)+1
returnstatic.x
end

returnp

If the above code sample was stored in Module:foo and then {{#Invoke:foo|main}} {{#Invoke:foo|main}} would result in 1 2.

Because data stored through this module can be invoked by any modules used in the same page. To avoid being interfered with by other modules, a module MUST store data in their own namespace (a sub-table, see below), and NEVER modify data in other namespace.

For example, in "Module:Example":

...
localstatic=require('Module:Static')
ifnotstatic.Examplethen
static.Example={}
end
static.Example.exampleData=3
...

Data stored by a module, must be stored in a sub-table with the same name of that module (capitalize the first letter, and all spaces replaced with underscores). This sub-table should being initialized immediately after the invocation of this module.
