starting to see the light at the end of tunnel, finally writing tests for Om Next which means maybe I actually have a design ...

given a sub-cursor in a sub-component of the root, is there a way to get the root cursor? I assumed that was what om/root-cursor was for but apparently I misread

@mattly: isn’t the root always the app-state?

yes, but that wasn’t what I asked – I have a sub-cursor

which from a bit of digging in the repl is basically the root with a “path” that provides a lens for the value

maybe this isn’t best practice, but you can at least get to the underlying atom with om/state

the basic idea is that i want to get at the csrf token without having to pass that value around separately or specify it everywhere it might be needed

how about shared state?

right now the generator for the hidden field is in a function

maybe it’ll be a component sooner or later

but it gets the cursor, not the owner

afaik the only non-hacky/global state approaches are ref-curors and shared state, but both would require you to pass an additional argument to that function
