Saving the value of an atom

[Rickesh Bedia]

(defonce car (atom ""))

(defn car-colour [ ]

  [:div

   [:div.container

    [:div.span12

     [car-form car]]]

   [:div.container

    [:div.span12

     "The car colour is: " @car]]

   ])

I have this function where you type in the make of a car and then this goes to a database and returns the colour of the car.

Is there a way of getting the value of @car to use in another function?

For example, to put the make of car and colour into a table. When I try to use @car in my table function it doesn't work.

Also is there a way to save these values in the table so if I called the car-colour function on another make it would add that to the table as well

In what way does it not work?

When I put @car into my table the value doesn't show?

Are you setting your atom with a "swap!" or "reset!"?

Is this a normal atom, or are you using Reagent?

Your code creates the atom with an empty string, so it would be correct for it not to show anything.
