Mount vs handle_params on the LiveView life cycle

[josevalim]

@ydd

load_users(socket) is not listed but it implies it’s a function that load the users from somewhere and sorts it using sort_by . Assuming we’re also loading data in mount wouldn’t that mean the loading is happening twice?

You would load it on mount OR in handle_params.

The golden rule is: always load data on mount. But if you add live navigation with live_patch, the data that can be changed on-the-fly must be now loaded on handle_params.
