How to access the state hook of an element?

[EngineerSmith]

I've been reading through the documents, and I'm trying to access the state. My current work around is as followed

-- eFactory
local helium, useState = ..., ...
return helium(function(parameter, view)
  parameter.r = parameter.r or 1
  local state = useState(parameter)
  return function()
    love.graphics.setColor(state.r,1,1)
    love.graphics.rectangle("fill", 0, 0, view.w, view.h)
  end
end)
---- main.lua
-- Skips creation of scene to make example simple
local state = {}
local e = eFactory(state, ...)
love.update = function(dt)
  state.r = state.r + 0.1 * dt
  while state.r > 1 then state.r = state.r - 1 end
end
love.draw = ...

Is there a recommended way of how to access the element's state outside of the element creation than passing a table through parameter or using parameter itself?
