    2323Sometimes a module needs to associate state with a core object, such as `Page` or `Navigator`.  Typically, this state doesn't interact with any of the core state and simply piggybacks on the lifetime of the core object.  Rather than bloating the core objects with your feature-specific state, you can associate your feature's data with these objects using [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/platform/Supplementable.h Supplementable].

    25 For example, the [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/Modules/gamepad/ Gampad] module needs to associate a `GamepadList` with `Navigator`.  Notice that in the [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/Modules/gamepad/NavigatorGamepad.h implementation] of its [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/Modules/gamepad/NavigatorGamepad.idl supplemental interface], the Gamepad module declares that `NavigatorGamepad` inherits from `Supplement<Navigator>`, which lets us store a `NavigatorGamepad` in [http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebCore/platform/Supplementable.h Navigator's m_supplements HashMap].
