Multi assign/stream

stream/4 works on a single stream, but assign/2 can assign multiple values at once.

The one you were referring to is assign/3 which works on a single item.

(NOTE: spruced up the formatting of your code example using triple-backticks ```)

I don’t personally see a huge difference between adding a stream by writing:

  {:stream, [{:whatever, %Whatever{}}]},

and

  |> stream(:whatever, %Whatever{})

Your post mentions “along with their parentheses”, but the former definitely seems to have more bracketry than the latter.

initializer_list = [
 {:stream, [
            {:whatever1, %Whatever1{}},
            {:whatever2, %Whatever2{}},
            {:whatever3, %Whatever3{}}
           ]
 },
 
 {:assign, [
            {:whatever4, %Whatever4{}},
            {:whatever5, %Whatever5{}},
            {:whatever6, %Whatever6{}}
           ]
 }
]

VS

socket
 |> stream(:whatever1, %Whatever1{})
 |> stream(:whatever2, %Whatever2{})
 |> stream(:whatever3, %Whatever3{})
 |> assigns(:whatever, %Whatever{})
 |> assigns(:whatever, %Whatever{})
 |> assigns(:whatever, %Whatever{})
(or)
|>assigns(fn %{struct_of_whatever: struct_of_whatever} -> %{whatever: struct_of_whatever} end)

I just felt easier for multiple copy and pastes for bigger pages.

Sorry for multiple repeated posts; it just gave me error occurred or something for clicking reply until I refreshed

all good! i’ve cleaned up the previous posts
