Hello Phoenix Gurus,
Is it possible to render or embed LiveView components with in Regular Page View? If yes, pls share the how-to-do snippets. Appreciate your help and support.

Thanks
Senthil

You cannot render a live component inside a normal view, only within a live view. However there are phoenix components (stateless) that can be rendered in both (Dead and Live)

Hey @racksen, consider marking your question as resolved if it helped.

@mcrumm was recently teasing something that might be relevant…? https://twitter.com/mcrumm/status/1446114074798952452

Not directly relevant, but I think it will be something folks will find helpful. I will talk more about that at ElixirConf next week (and online after my talk!)

@racksen you could also use live_render/3 from a Controller/View to render an inline LiveView, and within that you can render LiveComponents. However I would only do this as a stop-gap while moving toward a proper live route mounted at the router.

Otherwise use functional components as @tomkonidas solution stated.
