Example Code

def start_background_loop() -> None:
    # need to loop over every user
    print(app.storage.user)

app.on_startup(start_background_loop)

Description

I need to loop over all users storage and update one value (basically long running background function that does something on each user behalf and then stores some data in user storage thus triggering reactive ui changes for each user)

Hello @masterjg

I used to do this. It works but may break since ._users is private attribute.

async def start_background_loop() -> None:
    while True:
        print(app.storage._users)
        await asyncio.sleep(1)

Cheers!
