Hello,

full disclosure I am still very new to elixir and phoenix and liveview.

I am trying to transform a liveview controller and it’s. *.leex template into a component. The controller was auto generated with mix phx.gen.live and I am trying to turn the :show controller into a re-usable component that can be embedded in other views.

The first of which was to insert it into page_live.html.leex which according to the docs should work when

<%# live_render(@socket, ChatDemo.ChatRoomLive.Show, id: "ChatWindow", session: %{"id" => "07593216-b033-40e1-8c03-f32aa7375dec"} ) %>

But I get a no match of right hand side value: :not_mounted_at_router and somehow the debug page doesn’t show the expected content for session. I know it does require an :id in the params.

the controller works as a standalone, but not when rendered in another *.leex, is it possible to write a mount function that will work with live_render ? What am I doing wrong? or miss understanding?

the router entry:

  scope "/", DemoWeb do
    pipe_through [:browser, :admin_view]
    live "/message/:id", MessageLive.Show, :show
    live "/message/:id/show/edit", MessageLive.Show, :edit
  end

the liveview render call

<%= live_render(@socket, DemoWeb.ChatRoomLive.Show, id: "ChatWindow", session:  %{"id" => "07593216-b033-40e1-8c03-f32aa7375dec"} ) %>

the code seems to fail here

@impl true
  def mount(params, session, socket) do
    %{"id" => id} = params # FAILS HERE, but session only contains the csrf token
    if connected?(socket), do: Chat.subscribe()
    messages = Chat.list_message_for_chat_room(id)
    {:ok, socket
          |> assign(:messages, messages)
          |> assign(:message, %DemoWeb.Chat.Message{})
    }
  end
