[Mojolicious] Using 'state' in a helper

[Viktor Nacht]

Does using state inside a helper last for the duration of the connection,
or something longer lasting like a process, worker, etc?

I want to create (and return) a current DateTime object and make it
accessible to multiple helpers and templates during a connection.

I saw this Gist, but I'm not sure it pertains to per-connection:

A 'state' variable lasts for the rest of that process, but is only
available to the scope it's declared in. If you want per-connection (or
more precisely per request), I recommend storing it in the stash, like:

helper foo => sub {
my $c = shift;
return $c->stash->{'myapp.foo'} //= ...;
};

Hi, not sure if this is what you need, but I wrote an example on how to
trigger some state machine with a post request, and later be able to check
some status with other requests:

Hope it can help
BR,

*facepalm* The stash, of course. Thank you. :)
