Cairo Storage Mappings
Overview
Guide use of storage mappings, key hashing, and constraints around Map types.
Quick Use
- •Read
references/storage-mappings.mdbefore answering. - •Use
Map<key, value>only in storage structs. - •Access with
.read(key)and.write(key, value).
Response Checklist
- •Remind that Map types cannot be instantiated as regular variables.
- •Note that mappings are not iterable and return default values for missing keys.
- •Mention that key hashing chains through multiple keys when needed.
