Phoenix Auth Liveview Current User

I have been playing around with the new Phoenix Auth generator (https://github.com/aaronrenner/phx_gen_auth) and have been learning a lot just reading through the design/code of the files generated so thank you to anyone who worked on it, impressive! My question is what are the best practices for working with the current user in a liveview .ex file.

When using live view I often want to display a list of items that belong to a certain user. In my item context I have a function set up to talk to ecto and list out items that are associated with a certain user_id.
Items.list_user_items(user) for example.

In order to get the user to feed the function I have found this following code works in the mount call.

def mount(_params, session, socket) do
    user = Accounts.get_user_by_session_token(session["user_token"])
    {:ok, assign(socket, :items, Items.list_user_items(user))}
 end

However in a function like handle_event that does not have the session, how would I properly pass the current user to the list_user_items function?

  def handle_event("delete", %{"id" => id}, socket) do
    item = Items.get_item!(id)
    {:ok, _} = Items.delete_item(item)
    {:noreply, assign(socket, :items, Items.list_user_items(**user**))}
  end
