Yes there are many different approaches

That's a basic HTML question, which is agnostic of the underlying web framework.

Not sure if mojo offers specialized methods for all.

The classic approach is to reload the page.

    A more advanced technique consists in a client side framework like Angular where the page's content depends on some JS variables and is automatically refreshed whenever a variable's value changes. These changes may be pushed to the client via web sockets. This way page updates are minimal, smooth and happen immediately.

    Implementing this using Mojolicious::Lite on the server side is pretty easy. The real work has to be done on the client.

      I always thought that the benefit of Web sockets was that the action can be initiated from the server.

      I don't see the big difference to the AJAX/DOM point I listed.

      Or what's the advancement here?

      Speed?

        Avoid polling. Changed content is pushed to the client. This is AJAX based anyway.
