Fresh: global state

Is it possible to have a global state that can be accessed from anywhere? Currently I'm passing the Request object to many deeply nested server-rendered components, because I need to read the request hostname from it. I wish there was a way I could skip passing it through props.

Yes, but arent' signals only for islands? I haven't used islands yet Actually I can just use ‘export const state = { value: “” }’

from inside a function? islands are for reactive data. you need to have one to be able to change data dynamically, otherwise the render is the final state
