Javascript hook expects handle_event in all live views
I have implemented a Javascript hook for calculating the screen width and height as I need that info in one of my live views. I have basically used some code from this topic: https://forum.elixirforum.com/t/liveview-sending-more-data-than-expected/36259. So I have an event listener which pushes an event whenever the window is resized. This is handled by an appropriate handle_event in the liveivew that needs it.
The problem is that my application contains more than one liveview. Now when I navigate to a different live view, I get an error message like ** (FunctionClauseError) no function clause matching in BwWeb.StoreLive.handle_event/3.
So, am I supposed to implement an handle_event for this javascript event in every live view in my application, i.e. also in the ones that do not need that info? Or is there a more clever way to solve this?

You can use server lifecycle hooks to attach a shared handle_event on each LiveView. You can use the on_mount macro or the :on_mount option on the live_session router macro to reduce even more duplication:
#router.ex
live_session :default, on_mount: [MyAppWeb.SharedEvents] do
# routes...
end
# shared_events.ex
defmodule MyAppWeb.SharedEvents to
@moduledoc "Event handlers shared on all LiveView modules"
use Phoenix.Component
def on_mount(:default, _params, _session, socket) do
socket = attach_hook(socket, :resize, :handle_event, &handle_event/3)
{:cont, socket}
end
def handle_event("resize", _params, socket) do
# handle the resize
{:cont, socket}
end
end
