I have some LiveViews with some very long render templates. To aid modularity and readability, I’ve experimented with moving portions of the templates into function components. For example:

defmodule MyAppWeb.TestLive do
  use MyAppWeb, :live_view

  def mount(_params, _session, socket) do
    {:ok, assign(socket, name: "John Doe", message: "Hello")}
  end

  def render(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <.my_header name={@name}/>
    <.my_body message={@message} />
    """
  end

  def my_body(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <p><%= @message %></p>
    """
  end

  def my_header(assigns) do
    ~H"""
    <h1><%= @name %></h1>
    """
  end
end

Can anyone see anything wrong with this approach?

Nope, I do this a fair bit!

Good to hear that others are doing this as well.

One thing I wondered about was whether LiveView would be able to send data diffs to the browser as efficiently, since I’m a little vague on how that all works.

Yes it does. But You can see what is passing in the network tab of browser dev tools

Perfectly valid method. It’s done in core_components too.

I’ve been using this technique for a while now and I can’t imagine not using it going forward. I wonder if this practice is documented anywhere, since I hadn’t come across it. In my opinion, it ought to be documented.
