You were correct,
handle_paramsis called right before render. You can read about Phoenix.LiveView Life-cycle. If you do it on mount, then it will only handle the params when you mount the liveview, If you want it to be more dynamic on every patch, then put inhandle_paramsand it will run after mount and every patchhauks96
Ah okay, I was confusing the usage of handle_params. It is only triggered after push_patch thus I was never seeing the parameters.
Thanks!

You can find parameters here in the first argument: https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix_live_view/Phoenix.LiveView.html#c:mount/3
