Hi!
Suggest to add the ability to do use the components socket as input into Phoenix.LiveView.send_update/3 function to make it easier to send an update to self.
Using @myself as an argument is good, but think it would be easier to grasp when just using the current socket.
I think the cid is present in the socket and the module can be fetched using __MODULE__ is guess? 
Example:
@impl true
def update(%{title: title}, socket) do
updated_socket = socket
|> assign(:title, title)
{:ok, updated_socket}
end
@impl true
def handle_event("update_title", %{"title" => title} = _params, socket) do
updated_socket = socket
|> send_update(title: title)
{:noreply, updated_socket}
end
Where Next?

You can always write a helper function and import that:
Your example is also a bit contrived, since you could just assign the value directly. Also note that send_update is asynchronous. It sends a message to the LiveView process, which invokes the update callback as soon as it handles the message. If your code relies on some data wrangling
update/2does, you can just directly call update instead:mortenlund
Hi, yes I can write such a function, and I have
Just thought it would be a nice addition to the standard library
And yes, you are right, my example was not very good, and after your example I am not so sure why I did not think of that
