Updated Chapter 12.3.1

[OkoliEvans]

There was no description on how to write user defined struct to storage, and how to read as well. Added these with examples. @enitrat

[enitrat]

I don't understand why reading/writing structs would be separated from other types. How to read and write variables from storage is already explained here

I will edit and commit again in a few hours

Updated now, Please check @enitrat

Sorry, what I meant was:

Storing user defined structs is equivalent to storing any other kind of data. Read and writes are performed in the same way as well which is why I do not understand why there would be a section specifically about structs. Creating a subsection especially for structs, separated from other data types will only create confusion.

The example provided do not compile and don't make a lot of sense (why is a Person stored under a variable named name?)

For eventual subsequent PRs, you will need to verify that the examples compile first, and then add them to the listings directory, as it's currently done for all code snippets

I thought adding the changes will make it clearer to understand how structs annotated with #[derive(starknet::Store)] are written to. In the book there is no explicit explanation about how this is done, the usual self.names.write(value) does not work for user defined storage structs. @enitrat

It does! There is no difference between compiler-defined types, enums, or structs! You just call self.var.write(value) !

Oh, I tried that yesterday and I was getting errors. I will confirm and pm you on Telegram. Thank you
