puter.kv.add()
Add values to an existing key. When you pass an array, its elements are appended to the array stored at the key. When you pass an object, each key is treated as a path and the value is added at that path.
Syntax
puter.kv.add(key, value)
puter.kv.add(key, pathAndValue)
Parameters
key (String) (required)
The key to add values to.
value (String | Number | Boolean | Object | Array) (optional)
The value to add to the key. Defaults to 1 when omitted.
An array is appended element by element, so wrap a single value in an array to append it as one element: puter.kv.add('scores', [5]) appends 5.
pathAndValue (Object) (optional)
An object where each key is a dot-separated path (for example, "profile.tags") and each value is the value (or values) to add at that path.
Appended values follow the same limits as puter.kv.set(): 400 KB, and every number within ±9,007,199,254,740,991 — a larger one is stored clamped to that bound.
Return value
Returns a Promise that resolves to the updated value stored at key.
