just another Phoenix App with LiveView.
We have @ current_user in our session data.
Additionally, I want to store current_region of user…
lets say when users opens in browser my_domain_com a default current_region like abc must be set.
Instead if user visits my_domain_com / region/r_123 , I want r_123 to be stored in session data under current_region. (Assume QR code is scanned and it opens this link.)
Yes, I read LiveView cannot store/edit session data. Looking for simple hack if anyone has used. I dont understand the need of phx-hook here in this case.
This is one of nearest blogs I came across,
scope "/", AtmanirbharWeb do
pipe_through :browser
live "/", PageLive, :index
The possible Idea clicks in my mind, instead of live make this a get request. Confused so posting the question here.
Still open to other ideas and implementations.

use a plug? or a controller for /region/r_123 that quickly sets cookie and redirects to /region

I use a similar approach like the one described in the article you linked. The
phx-hookwill be present in a template used on your/region/r_123route like and will fire an AJAX call to updatecurrent_regionin the session.A plug will only work on the first render in a LV scenario. Any further LV navigation (going from region to region in this case) won’t go through the plug, thus the session won’t be updated.
