## Namespaces

- `store.env` to access and store data within the **Environment**
- `store.job` to access and store data within the **Job**
- `store.run` to access and store data within the **Run**

You will only be able to access Run-scoped data from inside the _same_ Run when using `store.run`.

To share data across Runs you can use `store.job`:

```ts
client.defineJob({
  ...
  run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {
    // Run-scoped get - this will always return undefined
    await io.store.run.get("run-get", "counter")

    // Job-scoped get - this will only be undefined on the first run
    const counter = await io.store.job.get<number | undefined>("job-get", "counter")

    const currentCount = counter ?? 0
    const incrementedCounter = currentCount++

    // Run-scoped set - somewhat pointless as we don't access it again in this Run
    await io.store.run.set("run-set", "counter", incrementedCounter);

    // Job-scoped set
    await io.store.job.set("job-set", "counter", incrementedCounter);
  }
})
```

And to share data across Jobs you can use `store.env` instead:

```ts
client.defineJob({
  id: "job-1",
  ...
  run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {
    // store data in one job
    await io.store.env.set("cacheKey", "cross-run-shared-key", { foo: "bar" });
  }
})

client.defineJob({
  id: "job-2",
  ...
  run: async (payload, io, ctx) => {
    // access from a different job
    const value = await io.store.env.get<{ foo: string }>("cacheKey", "cross-run-shared-key");
  }
})
```

## Methods

### `delete()`

Deletes an item from the Key-Value Store.

<Snippet file="stable-key-param.mdx" />

<ParamField body="key" type="string" required>
  The `key` of the item to delete.
</ParamField>

#### Returns

A `Promise` that resolves when the item has been deleted.

```ts
await client.store.env.delete("cacheKey", "key")
```

### `has()`

Checks if an item exists in the Key-Value Store.

<Snippet file="stable-key-param.mdx" />

<ParamField body="key" type="string" required>
  The `key` of the item to check existence of.
</ParamField>

#### Returns

A `Promise` that resolves to a `boolean` value indicating existence.

```ts
const exists = await client.store.env.has("cacheKey", "key")
```

### `get()`

Retrieves an item from the Key-Value Store.

<Snippet file="stable-key-param.mdx" />

<ParamField body="key" type="string" required>
  The `key` of the item to retrieve.
</ParamField>

#### Returns

A `Promise` that resolves to the stored value or `undefined` if missing.

```ts
const val = await client.store.env.get("cacheKey", "key")
```

### `set()`

Stores an item in the Key-Value Store.

<Snippet file="stable-key-param.mdx" />

<ParamField body="key" type="string" required>
  The `key` of the item to store.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="value" type="any" required>
  The serializable `value` to store.
</ParamField>

```ts
const val = await client.store.env.set("cacheKey", "key", "value")
```

#### Returns

A `Promise` that resolves to the stored value.

```ts Example
await io.store.env.set("cacheKey", "key", "foo")
await io.store.job.set("cacheKey", "key", "bar")
await io.store.run.set("cacheKey", "key", "baz")

await io.store.env.get("cacheKey", "key") // "foo"
await io.store.job.get("cacheKey", "key") // "bar"
await io.store.run.get("cacheKey", "key") // "baz"

await io.store.env.has("cacheKey", "key") // true
await io.store.job.has("cacheKey", "missing") // false
await io.store.run.has("cacheKey", "key") // true

// cleanup
await io.store.env.delete("cacheKey", "key")
await io.store.job.delete("cacheKey", "key")
await io.store.run.delete("cacheKey", "key")
```
