I’m reading through the example todo_trek app to try to understand how it all works.
One thing I’ve noticed is that in the validate event handler the edited todo is built from incoming params:

https://github.com/chrismccord/todo_trek/blob/main/lib/todo_trek_web/live/todo_list_component.ex#L123

While this works for the todo_trek app, it will fail when some other non-editable field is necessary to properly render the stream entry - let’s say for the sake of example that I’d like to render todo.inserted_at for every todo.

Since streams do not keep data in memory, in the validate handler I need to fetch todo from database to keep the inserted_at field rendered. This is not ideas, as the validate handler will be called multiple times, even when using phx-debounce.

One solution I can think of is to provide a short-lived cache using process dict with timer-based ttl.

What would be the preferred solution here?
Is there a way to avoid validate events at all?
