assign in redirect

So, I just found out that if you are redirecting to other routes, the assign that you did in your conn wont be available to the next template.

That's because assign stores value in current request's connection struct and if we use

conn
|> assign(:something, "sdf")
|> redirect(to: route)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

it will never make it to another template.
