Hi. I'm new here — just joined a company that's using mount. :-)
What's the recommended way to check whether a state is running?
I think I want something like (defstate foo :start ... :stop (when <running> ...))

in order to checks which states are running:
(mount/running-states)foo is available as a known reference "at a :stop function", so depending on what type foo is, you can do something like that:
(defstate server :start (start-server)
:stop (when server (.stop server))) 2020-03-15T14:01:04.006400Z
I think I’m confused by the different values I’ve seen for the state. Sometimes I see an object that says “Pending”, sometimes an object that says “Not Started” (IIRC), and sometimes a value that I can apply my stop function to.
I really need to learn about the lifecycle of states, I guess.
For now, I’ve simply wrapped the start and stop forms in a (when <do-we-want-to-run-this-state> …
